I then realized he reminds me so much of me. I'm so stubborn, its not even funny. And I came to the realization that we need to learn to be stubborn in the right way because there are good and there are bad ways to be stubborn.
I am stubborn with my Eyes and it's a good thing because I have proven my doctors to be wrong, That I can do the things they said I couldn't do. But I'm also stubborn with getting my way, I can sometimes not be flexible enough. I am stubborn with friendships and saving them and being loyal to them. But I'm also stubborn with forgiveness. See we all have good and bad aspects of stubbornness. You just have to learn which ones are good and which ones are bad and when to use that stubbornness. We need to learn to be stubborn for Christ. To not give up and save as many people as we possibly can, to spread the truth across this world. To be as stubborn as we can and get his good news out there and not just give up, but be stubborn about it. All too often we are stubborn for the wrong thing. We are stubborn for our selfishness and not are selflessness. We need to learn to be so stubborn on spreading his word that there's no doubt in a non-Christians mind that there's something different about us. I am stubborn about fixing and mending relationships but sometimes that stubbornness just makes things worse. Ive learned to step back and let a relationship heal even if I don't understand what is wrong with the relationship. See Jax is so stubborn about putting that bit in his mouth, that he doesn't see the beauty that can come from putting that bit in his mouth. If Jax would just put that bit in his mouth and let me ride him he would see the beauty that can come out of that companionship. We need to learn from Jax. To learn to be stubborn for the right thing; to be stubborn for Christ. Once we can be stubborn for the right thing, once we are stubborn for Christ, once we are stubborn in spreading his truth, and we are no longer stubborn for the wrong reasons, we can then see the beauty that comes from that. Don't be that negative comment of "stubborn horse", but be that positive comment of "that girl/ guy is so stubborn In spreading the word, I want to know what is different about them". Be stubborn for the right thing, and find beauty.
