Just making noise

It may be just me, however, being in a conversation with someone and my mind starts to wonder because what they are saying isn’t interesting or beneficial. There are also times when someone has to take over a situation or try to steal the spotlight because they feel entitled to. Can also add to this messy mix, their need to feel like they are right all the time and will feel some kind of way if you go against their advice. Or their personality has changed so much (not for the good), and you find excuses not to come around them, while hoping that all ties are cut. All of because, they were just making noise.

For us to be caught up in a conversation with someone like this, is a painful feeling, especially if it’s someone who’s close to you. Then you start to think about the time lost because you’ll never see it again. These individuals love to hear themselves talk or may even be full of themselves. Either way, they will never understand that they are just making noise. You may have heard it before, ‘all talk and no action’. Definitely not talking about a pending altercation, just a similar concept.

I Corinthians 13; 1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal.

As I noted earlier, our minds begin to wonder and personally I have to maintain focus in order to remain engaged. How would you handle these situations? You know with all your heart, they are speaking to hear themselves speak. I don’t want to be the one who’s disrespectful or cause any hurt feelings. However, if you’re not saying anything, then I don’t have the time to give you.

Many of us are in vulnerable positions with our lives and during these moments, we yearn for encouragement and enlightenment for the next level. If the opportunity happens to present itself for someone to pour into our spirit, I pray it’s with love and compassion. Having all good intentions and expect nothing in return. Keeping our situations private, not trying to personalize it, lay blame or make a mountain out of a mole hill. Being supportive and help to shoulder some of the burden. Sometimes sitting in silence together means more than words!

If you’re just making noise, please take it somewhere else. If you’re making noise, please don’t take it personal if I walk away. If you’re just making noise…

Be Kept
