Evening Thoughts

Hello everyone.

I'm thinking of so many things at the same time so FB, the proper question is "What are the THINGS on your mind?", not "What's on your mind?"

 

First of all, I'm thinking of a huge opportunity I've been given to reach so many people with the message of salvation, hope, faith, love, deliverance and every other part of the Full Gospel package.

 

Also, quite frankly, I'm thinking of the e-winchcraft (I still can't stop laughing at the term) that is lying in my inbox. Should I share? Or should I just read and thank God for how much I survived without losing my "elasticity"? (Anyone that asks me to explain that one will learn some Physics today, lol). It is amusing how people will send you trash inbox, then try to emotionally blackmail you into NOT publishing their e-winchcraft for all to learn from. FTR, once you send trash to me; the control has been transferred from you to me. I'm a believer so I forgive. I'm not sure why you THINK you have the right to hurt me YET insist that I must "forgive and FORGET"...Which portion of the scriptures are you relying on to ask me to develop amnesia?...I will forgive but I won't forget. I will learn from that experience and become a better person. I will learn how to deal with predators and pretenders; wolves in sheep clothing...(If you think I'm talking about you, then it's time to change your ways). Don't hurt me then tell me to put up with it. We are not joined by the hip bone so for as long as I'm not harbouring bitterness, it's okay to maintain a respectable distance. Please engage in more productive ventures and stop monitoring others. There is NOTHING godly about monitoring others. Instead, repent of your wickedness, ask those you've hurt for forgiveness. Give them room to process the hurt and start afresh. It will take time even if they choose to resume whatever relationship you had.

 

Finally, I'm thinking about those that have been hurt by someone they once trusted/loved. There is the tendency to become bitter, guarded and jaded. I don't believe that is ideal. It's good to learn from our experiences but we shouldn't let our experiences cause us to become bitter and/or harsh people. Otherwise, we have just handed control of our lives to others. If someone can make you hit them, cry, feel sad (add your own), you haven't given God the driver's seat in your life and you're not in control either. If your actions are always reactions to someone else's (in)actions, you are a puppet living below your God-ordained potentials. You need to deal with your hurts and not let life pass you by because you're buried in self-pity, bitterness, hate etc. Let God's word help you dissolve the anger, bitterness, envy, self-pity etc. As believers, we are to do all we can to get along with others (be guided how you share personal details, though).

 

In other news, did you know that overly affectionate couples were voted as the most annoying Facebook users? Envy? Transferred aggression? Now that's one more information you probably didn't need to know, lol.
