Entitlement

On the day of my birthday I was invited to a cafe for sandwiches with one girl that I vaguely knew along with a group of people that I had heard of.  In line with not wanting to do something ordinary on my birthday I took the treacherous trek to Yubei- which is just a twenty minute ride. It's not that far but when it's your furthest ride in Asia and it's bucketing down rain I did start to rethink my spontaneous choices.  

I arrived and was adamant to park undercover.  Here everyone parks anywhere and seeing as though it was my birthday I took the higher level.  This meant driving up a steel platform to what seemed to be heaven at the moment. Except i slipped and the lady of the local store came out shouting.  I had so much to say to her that I said nothing.  I wanted to yell "It's my birthday. I should get front row parking" and "Im so glad that this slip didn't end in repairs to me or my scooter!"

Who knows what she was saying but it got me thinking about our rights as a child of God.  We have access straight into his presence.  He always treats us as royalty! Always!  Although the world may not, God does and what a healing thought that is to a hurt or bruised ego! 

Love,
