when i was younger our house had a closet door with marks of peoples height. That door was incredibly important to me, was i taller than brittany yet? That door told me if i had grown. how can we tell if we've grown spiritually? Shouldnt we see a noticable difference just as we do when we've gone up a shoe size? what about when we've grown mentally? i believe we have grown spiritually and mentally when we can see what the enemy is after and do whatever we can to protect it.
when we can detect whether something is of God or not. That is spiritual growth.
the enemy is smart and he is beginning to use us agaisnt one another...
why do we fight eachother?Do we think we're helping situations? If someone doesnt like you, thats their problem. i dont mean to sound mean..but it is. you dont need to tell them off(as if thats going to make them like you more) ..... theres a verse ps used tonight that i love : "With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness.Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. Can both fresh water and saltwater flow from the same spring? My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water." I am sorry to every person i have gotten into a stupid argument. No matter how much your personality might anoy me or what you've done to me. You are my sister and brother in Christ . We are in the same battle. striving for the same thing. trying to cross the exact same finish line. so why is it so much easier to yell at you than to kneel down and pray with you? Lord take my anger and bitterness away. help me love every person made in your image. Help me see them as my brothers and sister. And help me forgive them whatever they may do. |
