Good morning! How are we faithing? Encouragement during rough times is sometimes really hard to accept. We do have a tendency to wallow and a tendency to get indignant when things transpire that we dislike. Blaming others, even if accurate, solves nothing. The event or action towards us still happened and we still felt or feel the injury but pointing the finger even retaliation only serves the pain or injury. Logically, why would we want to inflict pain when we abhor it so? Why would we want to give back what we got? Does that make anything better? Using inflicted pain as an excuse to act in kind is simple reprehensible. It just entrenches the pain we already have. When we stop and pray to our savior even when we would like to smash something or someone we set up a spirit of forgiveness and love rather than bitterness and hate. Which do you suppose is better for you?
John 14:1-7
"Let not your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. "In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. "And you know the way where I am going." Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?" Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me.
NAS
Romans 5:1-5
Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
NAS
Romans 15:33
Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
