Thank you once again Tavale Alisi Mucunabitu-Haunga - this is so home-hitting right now as I paste it here below ! Naupani@nodding KiaOra! If someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer the other cheek also. - Matthew 5:39 Do you feel taken for granted? You thought they cared about you, but they were just using you. Thats what happens when we put our lives into the hands of people. Men and women are not creators; they cant make anything out of us, they can only use us. You snapped at your kids. You yelled at a co-worker. You screamed at the driver who cut you off. You fought with your mate again, now youre pouring out your frustrations to anybody wholl listen. Ever think that perhaps your anger is just a by-product of the resentment youve allowed to invade your soul? Thats hard to acknowledge, but you wont get on top of the situation till you do. The answers not to take it out on those around you, its to take it to the Lord in prayer and let Him help you. Its got to start on the inside before it shows outside. That means spending time with God, allowing Him to forgive your resentments, remove your pain, heal your memories and enable you to love; as He loves. And thats a job for God. Dont try it without Him! Why dont you pray this prayer: Father, I want to act in love, not react in anger. Instead of being short-tempered and striking back, help me to be patient and turn the other cheek. Today let Your love rule my life, for Christs sake, amen. Thats a prayer God will answer, for His Word says, ... Above all things have fervent love for one another, for love will cover a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8). Have a great day & safe weekend! Alisi:)
