Sooo i haven't written in a minute and I probably shouldnt be writing now seeing as how I'm at work but I just have to share!
it's like 10 o' clock in the morning and already God has revealed sooo much to me! wow!
started with a text that i woke up to..which almost caused me to respond ignorantly! But God knew my heart..and it was thee fool this morning! Before I even got the chance to respond to the text, my good friend called me and I told him about it..and he hit me with some wisdom! he said "address the situation, not the person".. ummmm...that was dope! Got off the phone with him and basically had to go into prayer because I still didnt know how to respond in an appropriate manner.
So I responded..it took alot for me to even do that because i have been really struggling as far as how to take this person..and how to address this person.. so this really caught me off gaurd! But the dope thing is that God is never caught off gaurd! He has the answer to every question, situation, trial, test, tribualation, etc. HE is on it!!!! forreal! So i say that to say that I responded with the love of Christ because that is what He would have me to do! yea, in and of myself, im not that tight..but HE is!
So after this convo i was talking to my Sister in Christ...and I was able to take "Today's Lesson" even further! she said "right now you have the opportunity to share Christ by being real with her in the efforts to point her to the truth (not being real to hurt her feelings and make her feel like she makes others feel). craziness! so true though!! We have to be careful how we respond to people in order not to deter them further from the truth!
The Convo with my Sis came to a close with me saying "i know God will work it ALL together..." That was me quoting Romans 8:28. But then she went on and made that scripture even clearer for me...so i'll share! What God is working together for our good may not fit our definition of "our good". HE's working it out that we may be conformed, not to our circumstance, but to the image of Christ!! So we should welcome everything that He allowes us to go through and experience knowing that He's shaping us to the Image of Christ!
Hope that's good news for somebody!
Blessings to you! :)
