He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people. No, don’t be afraid. I will continue to take care of you and your children.(Genesis 50:19-21 NLT)
I sent this two days back, never did I know how much this verse would help me today!! Even when we are hurt deeply, even when we are very emotional to a level that takes us to confront someone who seemingly broke our trust, WE CAN’T take things in to our own hands. A personally emotional and psychological drain it has been on me yesterday, during the day, and the evening message that my Pastor Husband shared centred around not being an "emotional person" but spiritual. It made me ponder over how we exhibit composure, a reflection time on how we react..… I admit I could use more of the “walking in spirit” to help me overcome the emotional person. God placed us to save the lives of others or be a blessing to many, but we must never expect anything but God’s love and favour. It doesn’t negate our pains and struggles or worries they have caused us, it might remain the bitter truth, yet let us exhibit Christ like qualities, BEHAVE LIKE CHRIST would.
We have a covenant with God..more than “feelings”, “emotions”, “rights” ..let us say ”I am NOT god to punish! I will continue to take care of you” Even when it HURTS, even when it PULLS us apart let us extend kindness, love and patience in places it may seem undeserving. For our walk must be spiritual walk…? The fruits of the spirit is not to be preached but LIVED..
So today, Father take away every bit of bitterness and resentment that is lingering on my mind give me a fresh start…even when rejected, or remorseful. Help me remember your love is unconditional!! Help me be unconditional towards extending Your love…..If HE chose not to break covenant with US even when we do wrong, why should a mere mortal do???
