My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. James 1:19
I am reading a You version devotion now entitled ‘Dealing With Complicated People’ by Ryan Leak and an excerpt from it here-‘Rather than wishing they’d change, focus on what is within your power. Could you change your thinking? Your attitude? Your expectations? Your words? Your actions?’
How do you react to this? I don’t know if you are feeling left out, lonely, overlooked, forgotten, or like someone’s punching bag and if you are not, consider yourself blessed. For the rest of us we need to learn just how to react to hurtful people in our lives.
Trying to be silent means keeping the text message finger still as well. It means waiting on God after you prayed. Not overreacting and trusting that God is working. It is very hard as you feel like you have lost control or have no rights. My friend God knows your wounds and pain keep crying out to Him.
PRAYER: Lord waiting for you to ‘fix’ a situation or intervene in a relationship issue is very difficult. Different personalities react different. Prepare my heart Lord as you handle what’s on my heart. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
