How Do You See Me

Have you ever wondered how people see you?  Has anyone told you honestly how they see you.?  Would you even want to know?  Someone recently told me how they really see me and I didn't like it much.  They did not do it to be mean, but I still was not hapy with their evaluation.  Now, my first reaction was to tell them everything that was wrong with them.  I wanted to make sure that they saw things my way and how wrong they really were.  Instead, I accepted it and started what turned out t be a week long self evaluation.  Although, I don't believe that this person was corect in their evaluation, I must be living in such a manner that they see me in a different light than I have intended to present.  How is that?  Why do I want to live one way, but always seem to fall into traps thatI set out to avoid.  One of the things that I like about myelf is my sense of humor.  One of the things that causes me to stumble in my walk with God more than anything else is......you guessed it, my sense of humor.  Too many times I choose laughter and acceptance over what is right.  Don't get me wrong; it never starts out as my intention, but I let it happen.  What is it that keeps a person from doing what they know they should?  Is it acceptance by their peers?  Is it procrastination?  Is it ignorance?  

The Apostle Paul himself, writes in Romans "For the good I want to do, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want.  

Wouldn't life be easier if we could just behave all the time?
