Are you angry?


Matthew 18: 22 (KJV)

“Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, until seven times: but, until seventy times seven.”
Yes, I’m angry and have been for a couple of weeks, I am struggling to shake off this angry feeling and the person I am angry with is constantly doing their level best to irritate me. Pushing all my buttons and going out of their way to make me angry. I was thinking about this problem and it struck me the longer I feel resentment and feelings of carelessness towards this person the bigger the problem in my own life.

When my children were younger I would always say what would Jesus do? I thought about this matter today and I wonder if the Lord Jesus is watching me He must be disappointed in me. I am so angry at this person I cannot stay focused on the Lord. While I’m so angry I just cannot get around to praying and getting on with my life.

Today I want to stop this reaction towards this person, I am going to be friendly and keep them at a distance. I will forgive them and set them free. The Lord will work in their lives but in the meantime, I need to forgive them. So here goes, I forgive them. I set them free and I forgive myself too for not forgive me.

Prayer

Lord Abba Father, I know that when we are sincere in our prayers and come humbly into Your presence You hear our requests. I want to praise You and give You praise for the good things You bring into my life. Thank You, Lord, for all You have done for me. Lord, I humbly confess that I have become resentful against …. And this is causing bitterness to grow in my heart. I pray to forgive me, I forgive …… and set them free. Lord, I thank You for these revelations in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary!   This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life.    Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway.   Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this.   My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe.   I am still my own person and have many new interests.    How was my day today?   Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00.   Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office.   I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy.   I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person.   As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time.   I...

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...
