Hurts and Offences "Part of growing UP!"
Getting hurt is part of life. Getting offended or picking up offence is so human. Choosing not to pick up an offence is easier said than done. Especially when you don't like a person, you get offended easier from what he/she says.
Submitting our tongue and lips to God and our whole body to Him and living in His grace which is sufficient for us is the way to live. Then we can guard our lips and tongue (words that we speak) with His help. YES, takes a whole lot of self-control and patience and love and humility to not be offended and to say sorry sometimes when I have done wrong rather than to quarrel back and to fight my point or to justify myself.
AARRGGGHHH!!! EVERYTHING INSIDE IS CRYING OUT TO ME SAYING "I SHOULD JUSTIFY MYSELF AND FIGHT BACK AND TO ARGUE MY POINT AND TO "WIN" AN ARGUEMENT OR CONVERSATION OR DISAGREEMENT!!! It's so darn hard to control the tongue. What James said is so true.
James 3:7,8 - All kinds or animals, birds, reptiles, and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man, 8 but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
Some times I wonder, what better (Best) advice can I get from people or from myself, than the words of Christ from the bible. I can speak a million wise words, even then, His one word is more precious and meaningful to me.
You are God in heaven,
And here I am on earth,
So I'll let my words be few,
Jesus I am so in love with You
And I'll stand in awe of You,
Jesus I am so in love with You.
