Somedays I really struggle with being kind and loving and forgiving and compassionate towards those who make life so darn complicated when its really not necessary!
Pastor says to pray for those who persecute you. Man, that is one TALL order when their pride and my pride kick in. I know that I need to be the one to humble myself. Kill em' with kindness.
Love your enemies.... thats hard sometimes.
Pray for your enemies....thats hard sometimes.
(Matthew 5:44)
I know He will deliver me from enemies. Hopefully its sooner than later but all in His time and I must press on! (Psalm 18: 48)
Proverbs 25: 21-22
I get so defensive, especially when it involves my family. All this anger and thoughts just rushes through me like boiling water. And then, God knocks me on my knees, to tears and reminds me of how I am to be. Thankfully.....
