Have you ever had an “ah ha” moment when you were convicted that you acted or said something where you were a jerk in that situation? Recently, I (DeAnna) was asked to do something that I didn’t want to do. Instead of being joyful or considering the blessing, I automatically went into complaining. Part of it stems from doing something similar in the past and ending up being burned. That’s no excuse, but I felt like it was and instead of being open, I closed off and mumbled.
It hit me once the day was upon me, I was being a jerk about the whole situation.
Forgive me Lord for being a jerk to some of your children who you delight in. You delight in all of us! Help me to see others and new situations through your eyes.
Forgive us all, Lord, for not treating everyone with love and respect as you do.
We’ve all had those moments. It’s the conviction that reminds us we’re human and need Him. Love you.
You have a tender heart…and you’re tender toward others. It’s the whole of your character–not an isolated moment–through which you demonstrate time after time your generosity and goodness. I love you, Mom.
