When people make mistakes towards you
you have two choices you can be mad and hold a grudge or you can let go and give it to God staying mad is going to hurt you more than them Its like a poison in your heart. Eating you from the inside out. And hardening your heart where all you can feel is anger The other choice is to truly let go of your anger Give it to God. When this happens you will feel a lot of emotions other than anger. You may feel sad, confused, hurt, you may even feel absolutely fine. (It really depends on your situation). But at the root of those feelings. There is a peace from God that cannot be shaken. And that peace alone is worth giving up your anger. It’s a tough choice and may take some time to give your anger fully to God. To fully give Him your anger, you have to forgive. Truly forgive. Just to be clear, you can forgive a person and still set boundaries. Just because you forgive doesn’t mean you have to a doormat. That forgiveness, little bit by little bit is so freeing! And the best way to begin forgiving someone (even if it is forgiving yourself) is to pray for whomever it is you need to forgive. So what choice are you going to make? God's Word is truly amazing.
Sometimes it feels like He wrote versus just for what I need today! Or that He is talking RIGHT to me! And when the Word hits you like that. There is something that just happens in your heart. A peace. The deepest most sure peace you could ever have. Knowing that God is there. He knows what you are going through. And He has a message for YOU to help you through whatever! Are you really sad? "The joy of the Lord is your strength!" Are you discouraged? "Come to Me all who are weary, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28 Are you confused? " For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord." He has an answer to every question we have. He has comfort when we need it. He is there to celebrate when we have a celebration. the Bible talks about celebrations ALL the time! God's Word is not just for when you are having difficulties. It's there for every day and moment of your life. I take comfort in knowing my God cares. I pray that you take comfort in that knowledge as well. God really is so good to us. He is an amazing Heavenly Father. Our problems are so tiny in His eyes. Yet, He cares about what we care about! No matter how little or "insignificant" it is. He cares. I think that is what astounds me most about God. How He cares for everyone. I mean that's a LOT of issues to deal with. Yet he cares about each problem. He never says, "pfft, THATS what you are concerned about?! Are you kidding me?!" NOPE Instead He says, "Hey. I'm here. Talk to me." Wow. God is just so good! God wants to adopt you into his family. He wants to be there for you. All you have to do is ask Jesus. That's it. Just ask Jesus into your heart. Give Him every worry, every care. Truly give it to Him. And that peace will fill where those worries were. Trust in The Lord. For He is good. His Mercy's endure forever. I don't know if you read these anymore.
I hope you do. If you do. I just wanted to say "Hi! How ya doin' Goob?!" |
