You Deserve Better then that
Reflective thoughts....and yes I like playin with colors :P
Words that were told to me a few months ago....I deserve better then that. As of this past week those words have haunted me for reasons I wont go into here. But I have been thinking about that and what it implys.
Who determines in life what we deserve and who has the right to say we deserve better then we get?
Is it easier to say then it is to offer?
I think in life there are some things that yes in life we do 'deserve' better then. But who is it to judge who deserves what? If a woman is raped, does she deserve to be raped? If a man is put into prison for killing another man, does he deserve to be killed to?
I know I know not easy questions to think about, but just something thats on my mind.
I suppose the simple way of looking at things is we do have 'choice' and make the decisions of what we accept to have dished out to us and what we don't. I suppose I could say I deserved to be treated better by my ex husband then I did, but at the same time I participated in the relationship and allowed some of what took place to take place. I am certain I could have done better in my part. As the saying goes there are many pieces that make up a puzzle.
Its a free choice I make to be involved with anyone who I have a relationship with...be it romantic or just a friend. If a friend treats me horribly, well I can take it or I can walk away. I can at the same time....only do my part. I can treat others how I would want to be treated without a regard to how I am treated and know that if I love others ultimately my life is an example I would want to make.
Over a year ago I had been reflecting on all that had been 'done to me' and a friend made this comment......we deserve so much more. Christ took it all away from us. Those words have never left me. When we think about how sinful and selfish we are and the life we lead we really do deserve so much more....we have so much to be thankful for.

In conclusion i think I deserve..................

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth"
