God is really working on we love each other. It comes from speaking life in all situations and being kind, patient and still being straight with folks. This is a hard thing. Baby Christians have caused me much pain. So, I instinctively build walls to protect myself.
I texted with Nate at 5:55am Redding time. Nate is over at Bethel right now. He gave me Eph 4:29. Nice.
At church yesterday, Jessica spoke on loving others and started the entire sermon from Eph 4:29.
Twice. Yup. I got it.
God has me working with Michelle, Bridgeway and other circumstances that I want to run out of because of crap leadership. There are all of the critters influencing bad behavior and stupid decisions.
At least, that’s how I see it, and I am always right. Ha!
God is more interested in us loving one another. Man, but we still need to help bring change because we are agents of change. It is the “how” that we need to really get down, and I feel miles away from it.
Got the idea. Know what the LORD is focusing on. Feel totally inadequate to pull it off. No wonder that He keeps giving me 555 all of the time.
5 is becoming my new number. I need grace.
http://bible.com/100/EPH4.29.NASB Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear. Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.
