If you can’t please everyone, please Jesus

An old fable that has been passed down for generations tells about an elderly man who was traveling with a boy and a donkey. As they walked through a village, the man was leading the donkey and (he boy was walking behind. The townspeople said the old man was a fool for not riding, so to please them he climbed up on the animal's back. When came to the next village, the people said the old man was cruel to let the child walk while he enjoyed the ride. So, to please them, he got off and set the boy on the animal's back and continued on his way. In the third village, people accused the child of being lazy for making the old man walk, and the suggestion was made that they both ride. So the man climbed on and they set off again. In the fourth village, the townspeople were indignant at the crueltvJto the donkey because he < was mcSere lo carry two people. The" frustrated man was last seen carrying the donkey down the road. We smile, but this story makes a good point: We can't please everybody, and if we try we end up carrying a heavy burden. Well-meaning

people may offer us advice, and much of it is valuable. But when we try to do everything others want us to do, we can easily become frustrated and confused. That's why we need to remember that the One we must please above all others is Christ. And we do that by obeying God's Word. Pastor Column Tom Schiefer, Nappanee First Brethren Church Too often we get caught in the trap of not going to the source. We rely on our natural abilities and the counsel of others relying on their natural abilities. We believe there is a God and need to check in with him. But thefrt we don't live like* agent in our lives with the truth that brings life and freedom. C. S. Lewis observed that "God made us: invented us as a man invents an engine.

properly on anything else. Now God designed the human machine to run on himself. He, himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to bum, or the food - our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other. That is why it is just no good asking God to make us happy in our own way without bothering about religion. God cannot give us happiness and peace apart from himself, because it is not there." So today I encourage you to read his word with intentness, then position yourself to hear from the lord and ask... Lord, please show me the way today. Show me some aspect of your greatness I tend to overlook. Show me what makes you smile and what makes you sad. Show me people I can touch with your love. Show me who 1 need to forgive and from whom I should seek forgiveness. ' 'Right now 1 especially meet you to show me (fill in as you are led) . Thank you for showing yourself by sending your son, Jesus. Amen. l
