We all have family that can drive us batty. We can feel love towards these individuals,
yet these are the same people who can drive us absolutely crazy. There are people in my own small community of
family that just completely contribute to my brain just exploding. I have complained to my friends, friends and
the other members of this same community.
This has not worked for me very well.
My complaining has only allowed more stress to bottle up inside of my
mind, body and soul. It was just
yesterday that God just smacked me upside the head.
What did God do? I
will tell you what God did to turn that light bulb on in my head. I honestly cannot believe that I am writing
this next phrase because as a girl I did not grow up looking in the Bible for
my answers. This is exactly what I did
sitting in the Chic – fil – A parking lot.
There was one verse that I read and basically had my duh moment.
Psalm 133: 1, “How good and
pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity.”
I know that probably gives you a clue of
what I may be talking about, but I cannot give you too many details. The voice that some of us call the Holy
Spirit brought to my attention that I have moved on in my life. God has my situation in his hands. It is that simple. God has my life in control. There is a freedom knowing that my heavenly
father has things taken care of because I cannot handle things on my own. In that parking lot I learned I need to do
what I do and God needs to do what he does best. We as children of God have the simple
instruction coming from the author of our lives.
In John 15:12, 17, “My command is this: Love each
other as I have loved you.” “This is my command: Love each other” This is so
simple. When I see what Jesus was
willing to give it should be easy. We as
humans are not perfect, so forgiveness needs to be practiced as well. In this election year and as we proceed to
pick our next leader let us as a community of family being children of God love
and forgive one another.
