My Thoughts Are Not Your Thoughts Neither Are Your Ways My Ways

Maybe not quite exactly a poem. Just wondering if anyone else can relate or perhaps just me.

Sometimes when I work the front register of the store I get annoyed by people.

There always seems to be those people who think the world waits on them. 

Who really I feel like I have to get them to hurry up to keep the line moving really.

Those people who think they are always right and never really listen.

They ask questions but don't seem to really want the answer.

The people who think they are so funny and its like they think its the weirdest thing that I don't think their funny at all, just rude frankly.

I mean seriously, it's my job to get your stuff in and out and make sure your not a thief, not to have to laugh at your rude jokes all the time. (Really, they're just not funny or nice either.)

Anyway some people have called me quiet, others just look at me like I'm weird. Honestly, I do my best. I don't have time to just have casual conversation with every customer. Why? Because seriously, it's like I'm working the whole store! Between freight and everything else I'm always tired. And when people ask me what's wrong it's like they don't really want the answer and I just end up nodding my head at them just wasting more time. Seriously, like whatever just leave it's not like you care anyway. I always appreciate the people who know how to hurry up honestly so I can just get back to freight and stuff. I mean I try calling for register backup but no one ever just stays past "oh the lines gone" then darts away somewhere as soon as I turn around. Can that really be considered backup? I mean to me, my presence at the register seriously shows I have someone's back. Not every customer is entirely the nicest or most cooperative and sometimes just being there too I think helps the other person at the front not to get overwhelmed and just do their job and help people the best they can. That's backup! Not just "I helped the line go away faster", which I would eventually get done anyway even by myself. It just is tiring. And the people who are maybe used to seeing me smile will not see that because I'm just exhausted. Really if people actually cared they would hurry up. To me it shows consideration for everyone's time and really helps me smile again when people really do that. It shows they care without words. Without having to ask what's wrong. My thoughts are not your thoughts. Neither are your ways my ways. I understand that about others but they don't understand that about me. I know I can't read people's mind and all but they act they can do it with me and it's just frustrating and tiring having to pretend with people all the time even though I am not trying too. All I want is for people to stop trying to figure me out like it's that hard to understand. I am not a machine! And I know it is the same with God. People keep trying to figure him out and bring him to their level. He is God! The uncreated master of the universe! His thoughts are not your thoughts neither are your ways his ways. (Isaiah 55:8) That is why it is so important to first be humble. God is not afraid of our questions and wondering so long as we come to him with humble hearts admitting we don't know it all. Just as humble children coming to the father asking for help such as with their doubt or fear, which he wants so desperately for you to do. To be imitators of God as his dear children. (Matthew 18:3 and Ephesians 5:1-2) "Come to me all who are weary and heavy burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28-30) The Lord knows you are only human, a human he so loves (John 3:16) and that is why he came and died for you on that cross. Bearing your sin, shame, guilt, and burdens. On his shoulders he bore the weight of the world. Don't take his sacrifice for granted. Just come to him as you are so you won't stay as you are, beaten down by the world, but renewed in Christ in his perfect love. Being careful not to be wise in your own eyes (Proverbs 26:12) and lean on your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge him and trust him with all your heart, and he will make your paths straight.(Proverbs 3:6)
