Have you ever had a day when you come in contact with people that really....and I mean really...rub you the wrong way? I find that it happens to me every once in a while, and I have become very aware of my attitude to these people! Sometimes I must admit...the first thing to come to mind is not..."this is a person made in the image of God and really matters to Him..." it's more like "this person irritates me and I don't care!" That is the part that has really started to smack me....I mean, get my attention that something needs to be brought to my attention. So today...when another one of those people came into my life I took a big breath, thought about what God would want me to do and instead of thinking rude thoughts, and I thought about how I could actually demonstrate love to them. If I want Jesus to live through my life....I have to move aside and let him shine out.
Hope your life is being challenging and you are stepping up to the challenge!
Blessings,
Pastor Brian
