Reading that scripture in everything give thanks. There are so moments where my buttons get pushed and it’s hard to praise. I have come to realize that some of these things that rub me the wrong way are simply God purifying me for His purpose. Sometimes it’s just people being people.
I don’t want to have resentment in my heart because that will separate me from God. How do we get past that resentment? How do we praise in spite of our pains?
We realize that Jesus died for us and forgave us of our shortcomings. We realize that we have to love those who spitefully use us. We realize that resentment and bitterness will block our blessings.
It is in that moment we truly have to say not my will Lord but yours.
I Thessalonians 5:18
In everything give thanks for this is the will of Gods, in Christ Jesus for you.
