I was just thinking how discouraging it can be to have someone challenge your growth with accusations. Accusing you of the very things you're in prayer about and sincerely trying to get better at handling. It puts you in defense mode and has a reversing effect, at times, taking you back to that place you worked so hard to be delivered from. The strength and growth will become evident in how you conduct yourself moving forward with this awareness. Sometimes we don't know how strong or weak we are until tested. So we need collect our emotions, check our pride, and proceed with the good work that the Lord has started in us. We shall Praise God for the lessons that came out of the test and certainly don't hold any ill feelings towards the object or vessel used in that challenge. There will always be a "Blessin in the Lesson". Amen!
"Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." Philippians 1:6 (King James Version)
Peace yall!
You are a great model, actress, commercial spokesperson...but you are even more of a great inspiration to those seeking the missing link of life.
ReplyDeleteCriticisms is in front of us, & it would be smart to expect it every second of the day. Getting mad or defensive solves nothing, only clouds judgement.
