Compromise or Collaboration

Collaboration is the key to a life of fulfillment. The definition in today’s society is often viewed as compromise. However, there is a huge difference, look at it this way, compromise means one or both of the parties in a relationship must give something up in order to come to an agreement that both can approve on. This builds resentment in the relationship, and yet sometimes it’s the only way pass an impasse.

Collaboration is different, in that it brings the parties together to deepen the relationship. Instead of giving up something in order to maintain our own direction, we see how we may head down a better path together leaving our own desires apart and desiring to be unified together on a new path.

This is the foundation of the Christian walk, so many people wrongly believe they have to “give something up” in order to be a Christian. If the faith you seek believes that you can still live your path and compromise with God only in the areas you wish, then look someplace other than Christianity, for God the Father is a gentleman of character and He will not compromise your desires.

When a person receives the gift of grace through belief in Jesus Christ, his/her heart comes into collaboration with the will of God. Through the Holy Spirit God, begins a new work in us. This is a new path focused on Gods ultimate purpose to use our unique personalities and gifts to proclaim His Glory.

The Bible states,

 Colossians 2:6-7 As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. 

        

As we live a life in Jesus Christ let us acknowledge our collaboration with Him. He will change our hearts and desires for a better path toward a life of fulfillment.
