"But as for me …"

It is an often used and highly contextualized phrase,

It differentiates us for wide and narrow streams and common currents of thought and deed.

It is my response to truth for which I am either culpable or commendable.

I am not in charge of anyone else's opinions or choices. I can care, but I cannot control. I can converse, but I cannot coerce. I can seek to convince the mind, but I cannot convict the heart.

Neither need I be swayed by the resistance of another.

I need not the validation of peers in order to believe that which resonates truth in our hearts.

We can relax in this because trust is resting in God and waiting for Him.
