Changing someone

Sometimes we thought of changing someone. But at the end, we were the ones being changed. And realized perhaps God wants to mold us to be more flexible, have a greater capacity to accept one's weakness, to love, to forgive, to let go of our self-ness.

Sometimes we thought we can make someone to be a Martha, while she is a Mary. 

Sometimes we thought we could train someone to be a Mary, while she is a Martha.

Yet, both are good at what they were doing. It is when Martha opened her home to Jesus that Mary could sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. It may not happened that way if it's not Martha being a Martha, whom good at hospitality that first opened the door.

Let he/she be a Martha, if he/she is good at it.

Let he/she be a Mary, if he/she is good at it.

It's their spiritual DNA. 

Still, if there's a mixture of Martha & Mary's DNA will be good
