I had an epiphany today, and it feels like a big relief.
I’m giving up my role as the morality police. Somewhere along the way, I must have picked up the idea that other people’s choices were my concern and that I needed to monitor, correct, or hold the line for what was right.
It came from a good place, but it kept me tangled in things that were never mine to carry. I see now that other people’s morality is none of my business.
I am responsible for my own integrity, my own walk with God’s Light, Love, and Truth and that is enough for me. That’s more than enough. I don’t need to convince anyone. I don’t need to correct anyone. I don’t need to rescue anyone who is fully capable of rescuing themselves.
What I can do is to be a demonstration of the values I hold dear. To live them quietly and consistently and to let my life speak instead of my judgments.
This shift feels like freedom. It feels like peace. It feels like becoming more myself. Thank you for listening.
