Yeah…I’m on an Offspring kick. =)
I was listening to this song the other day and thinking about the lyrics:
Broken wing
Empty glass
Words that scream and bounce right back
She says, you know
We'd all like to rearrangeI wish I could fix you
And make you how I want you
I wish I could fix you
And I wish you could fix meI wish I could heal you
And mend where you are broken
I wish I could heal you
And I wish you could heal me
How many times have we wanted to “fix” others? Our spouses, boy/girl friends, best friends, family members….
One of the best lessons I've ever learned was that there is only one person who can "fix" another. If we want our love ones to be fixed, we have to allows the Son of Man to work on them.
And when I say "allow", I mean "allow". [@more@]
A lot of times we say that we want a person "fixed" or "healed", but what we really mean is that we want that person to act or behavior like we would.
By allowing God to work, we need to take a step back and let that person live their life according to what God is doing. Yeah – it's hard – 'cause we want to see results!
We want to be apart of the process…yet there is only one.
8 "But you, O Israel, my servant,
Jacob, whom I have chosen,
you descendants of Abraham my friend,9 I took you from the ends of the earth,
from its farthest corners I called you.
I said, 'You are my servant';
I have chosen you and have not rejected you.10 So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.11 "All who rage against you
will surely be ashamed and disgraced;
those who oppose you
will be as nothing and perish. (Isaiah 41)
A co-worker loaned me 
I might have to pick up a copy myself…or at the very least, download a few songs.
