I’m human and God knows me and knows my heart. I ask Him to help me show His love and grace in these situations.
It is so easy to become aggravated and bite people’s heads off when you’re having a bad day. How convicting this passage is for me today. Yesterday was a day. There were some situations that made me so frustrated that I just snapped at people. Last night I began to think, Denise, you could have handled that differently. You could have chosen not to snap back at them or give them attitude. I repented for my part of the attitude. I could have explained my point better.
I don’t want anything to dim my light.
No I didn’t use bad language or even talk ugly to them.
I allowed myself to yell at them and for that I am sorry. Today I will have to apologize and make sure they understand that is not who I am.
That although they were wrong my method of delivery was not professional nor Christ like. Maybe you have encountered these kinds of situations on the job. I pray today that we will all let our lights shine bright that others will see Jesus shine bright through us.
James 1:19-20
19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20 because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.
