Recently, something our pastor said has really been sticking with me... I'm sure he'd be glad to know I was paying attention! ;o)
he said,
" What's inside of you comes out when you're squeezed."
Basically meaning, when things are going rough, how do you react, with God's love or bad temper/words, etc.
~ Human emotions ~
We all mess up, and yes, you ask God for forgiveness, but that simple little statement has been staying at the front of my mind.
....the joy of the Lord is your strength.
~ Nehemiah 8:10
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will.
~ Romans 12:2
Have a blessed day my friends
