======Trouble maker ...======
Thursday, Aug 30, 2012. We have been talking about praise - and as if
someone wants to test me with my motives and habits, I have just been sitting
in a meeting where I did not come to any praise at all. On the contrary, the
boasting of the leader lead me to to strong wish to run away, just away!

**What if something is terrible ...**
We have been talking about truth and about balance. What if there is just so
much incompetence at some point, that balance is difficult. How do you react?
When you get into a conflict, which cannot easily be resolved, how do you
deal with the problem. When you are accused of not doing something, which you
did or which was not clear. When you are personally addressed in a nasty
way. How do you react?
There are people on this planet, who are just so ego-driven, that it will be
difficult to talk to them and find a solution in friendship. When ego is paired
with incompetence or missing insight, it can be quite a dangerous mixture.

**There is the way of the Lord ...**
We have to realize that Jesus as well got into conflicts of this type. Those,
who claimed to be the leaders in the field of religion, where incompetent - they
did not know the Lord and led other people away from the humble truth and love
of the Almighty. Conflicts of this type can always arise ... and they can arise
in other areas of life as well.
The first point in these is that we need to find back to our own sovereignty. We
need to find back to our own inner peace first. You will never find peace for
yourself as long as you are in a mode where you feel hurt. Let the things which
might hurt you drip down from your external layers.
God loves us. God wants us to calmly follow his path. If someone likes to boast
and accuse and be nasty, let him be what he wants. Just don't let it be you matter -
people make decisions to behave stupidly, you will not completely be able to
do something about it. You just go a constructive path yourself!
