I hesitated to read this book. The title scared me away. Am I being flippant or careless? Am I compromising my faith in God? Am I not paying attention?
It turns out...we are not called to be doormats. We are called to be kind. We are called to be loving. We are called to forgive.
Things are NOT called to be:
- Doormats
- Unforgiving (and yes...that goes towards ourselves as well)
- Self-indulgent (and yes...that goes towards ourselves as well)
- Stuck in the past
My dad used to tell me that, when driving, if you only look in your rearview mirror, you will inevitably crash. Not if, but when.
For those of us that tend to sit in feelings. For those of us that romanticize the past. For those of us that believe failure is NOT just an event...read this book. Local library has it. And I have been loving it. (also sorry for the language in there but...it's just super good.)
