LIFE IS TOUGH!
You know life can be tough, especially if you belong to God and He’s putting the heat on, in order to remold you. It’s easy to get into emotions and run away with thoughts. The best solution I have found, is staying grounded in the word! It’s the optimal medicine when your world seems to be closing in on you. Yes, crying out, praying, but something happens when the Father’s voice speaks out of His word to steady you and get you back on track. Your thoughts become realigned.
Here’s another point I’d like to encourage you with today; Cut people some slack!!! Not everyone is able to express themselves correctly if they are experiencing something emotionally. Words come from thoughts and thoughts come from emotions. Try not to take things personally and give grace, as we all have need for it when we are not at our best while trying to express ourselves.
In a deep way, we all want to be understood and not judged. How great it is to have people around who “give slack” and give time for you to figure it out. Many times we speak out of our pain and not out of truth. Thinking about how someone is affecting us with their actions, words or attitudes is self- centered. Most of the time it may have nothing to do with us and everything to do with pressure from another situation. Take that into consideration the next time you are affected by someone else’s response to you. “In your patience posses your soul.” Patience requires time and space. We need patience with others and ourselves. Let time have time. The word says “He will make all things beautiful in His time”
Let things work out themselves. Don’t be quick to judge or assume. Hey, it’s a challenge for all of us. Jesus was full of grace and truth. We need grace to know the truth and we need truth to be set free.
