It is all about forgiveness and love…what do we do and how do we react to anger, disappointment or frustration? Again it is all about forgiveness and love. We are going to be challenged many times in a week, month or years with several of these emotions.
The key is how we respond or react. At times we want to set the record straight so the other person understands what they did or did not do…pout to get their attention or manipulate their feelings by making them feel guilty.
It is important to remember that we too have let people down, made them angry or increased their frustration; therefore it only takes a quick look in the mirror to realize we are far from perfect and need to adjust our attitude.
Walking in love with Jesus allows our temperament to remain cool and our mouths closed even when we think we have the right to say something. It is at this moment we say a prayer or two asking for patience and positive thinking.
Pray for the person creating your havoc and then pray for yourself. God will fill our soul and hearts with peace as we become patient and positive. Thank our Lord for the blessings before you…a place to live, food to eat and people that love you. Let’s keep the enemy away from our thoughts and respond only with the love of God.
Ephesians 4:29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
Allowing for imperfect behavior in others grants us the right to ask God for forgiveness when we fall short of His standards.
Smiles & Blessings,
