Hey guys,
Sometimes in life, people are not the greatest. People can be selfish, inconsiderate, rude, mean, harsh, cold, and so many other things. Some people may make you feel like you want to pull your hair out, a single hair at a time. However, when people like that are your superiors, it is your job to listen to them, and follow their instruction. You need to put your own thoughts and feelings aside and, out of respect for your superior, honor their wishes and listen to them. I felt that at a new level today. Today, it was obvious that this person had let all this power go to his head, but I knew I had to obey. No matter how much it ticked me off to see him taking advantage of us, there is nothing that I could have done to change that. So many times, Jesus was treated unfairly, and Jesus saw others treated unfairly, but did he get out his picket sign, go stand on Wall Street, and chant about how it was unfair? No! He swallowed his pride and his opinions and feelings and did what he was told, because they were his superiors, and it was his place to do so. I think what happens a lot of times when boss's are being unfair, or mean, or whatever else, they are looking for someone to stand up to them, they are looking to be disrespected, so that that person can be made an example like, "this is what happens if you disrespect me." sort of an attitude. Instead, what would happen if we as the workers held our tongues, and gave him respect, and honored his wishes? The chances are, he'd probably be pretty confused, wondering why these people still listen to me if I treat them badly. From there, you could have a chance to explain how God calls us as Christians to honor our superiors. Obviously, this goes to a certain extent, there comes a time when your morals are questioned, and then you defend your morals with all your strength.
<3 Always,
Rose
