Thoughts from a Random Mind

 

            During this time when anxiety runs high and stress rules the day we need to work at remaining calm and displaying kindness whenever possible. It’s so easy to let your emotions boil over and lose our temper, lashing out at an innocent party for no significant reason other than you lost control of your emotions and over-reacted. Although I have been doing much better lately, I have historically been known to overreact. I believe I’ve learned my lesson. 

            Learning a life lesson from God is an interesting thing. The Lord teaches us a variety of lessons as a means of acquiring better behavioral characteristics. For example, if we ask for patience, we don’t receive it ‘poof’ just like that. You can be sure you will find yourself in one or a series of situations that will require patience. If we are attentive, we will learn our lesson well, if we are not, we will go thru the lesson again. The Lord is a God of variety. He will provide lessons in many ways. The Lord is gracious and kind and will only teach you what you are or will be in need of. It would amaze you if you could see a video of your life and witness all the life lessons you have lived through.

One way to exemplify Christ to the masses is to be kind, which takes patience and lots of it. This should be one of our most important goals as a follower of Christ. Until next time, walk with the King & be a blessing.

In His Name & for His Glory,
