The other day someone made a rude comment to me. I don't know if it was meant to be rude or whatever, but it really effected me and I couldn't let it go. I came home thinking about it, I went to work thinking about, and I went to bed angry about it.
I tried to forget it all that time, but I couldn't. It kept hurting over and over. I was trying to make myself feel better, but all I was doing was getting more and more aggravated at the person who made the comment.
But then God reminded me, I will never get anywhere without help from Him.
God reminded me that I needed to love.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 says that;
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Sometimes I still feel a little bitter about the comment, but then I remember -I need to love. I need to remember that I've said rude comments in my life and who am I to keep a record of wrongs? I need to remember to keep striving to be more Christ like everyday, and that Christ loved so much that he died for everyone. A comment really is nothing to get worked up about.
anyways, that's it for right now.
