If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
Sometimes not letting "no" stop us shows perseverance and passion. Sometimes "no" makes us pout and become angry because our pride is hurt or we are just being selfish. Sometimes no makes us rethink things. Sometimes "no" just plain tells me want my way.
ReplyDeleteYour character is also displayed by how you respond when you tell somebody "no" and they defy you.....
ReplyDeleteDo we just accept the answer, "NO"?
ReplyDeleteWhen we absolutely know in our heart and mind that something should be done about it. Perhaps God has told me the answer is "Yes" - - "Do something about it."
