"Constraining"

"Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it." (Psalms 35:21) To really get to the heart of the matter, if this is not our home, and if the kingdom we belong to is not of this place, then why should it matter what anyone says concerning us? Do you think Jesus cared what people said of Him? Those that were His sheep, they heard His voice, and they knew who He was; those that were not His sheep, could not understand who He was, neither could they understand what He was saying. (John 10:1-5) When it comes to what people might say of us, our judge is God, and it is God who we will answer to; therefore, our attitude should have some sort of constraining power behind it that forces us to look the other way, much like "turning the other cheek", however, in this instance the motivation is to shy away from confrontation; because we cannot change anyone's heart, only God can do that; and until their hearts are changed, they will never be able to really see things the way that they truly are. Basically, this "Prayer for Help" has taken a turn from needing God's help from those who might be out to harm us, to needing God's help so that we might not harm ourselves. Much like what Jesus said about "walking that extra mile", or "giving your coat also when they ask for your shirt"; because we only bring damage upon ourselves when we try and fight such matters, but we heap coals upon the heads of those, when we don't; it just might not seem as though it is right, but since when does God's economy work the way we think is right? Our number one goal should be the same as Jesus' goal was, and that is to please the Father (John 4:34); it was what truly satisfied Him, and it was His purpose for coming here in the first place, which was do the will of the Father. The only reason we remain, is also to do the same; which is to take part in the 'Harvest', whether that might be sowing seeds, planting and watering, or getting to partake in an actual reaping; our reason for being here is to do the will of God, and it is God's will that man should be saved; therefore, the constraining force behind everything that we do must be motivated towards working the "harvest", not the other way around...
"Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh the harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours." (John 4:35-38)
