Recently I had an experience. An individual that I had very little prior contact with no relationship verbally assaulted me using profanity and vulgarity. I received it and moved forward. But one thing remained, my contempt and desire for revenge. Soon my anger and disgust weighed far heavier then the actual incident. I dredged through days hoping for an opportunity of revenge... I lost track of the act.
What does it mean?
This means Christ works through me and asks me do I feel terrible about how I feel towards this person or do I feel terrible about what was said to me... Two very different things.
Until I said I forgive you in myself... I was hurt more by my anger then by the words. A confirmation of action through me by Christ. Now I would chose to speak light, speak life to this person, I chase the opportunity harder then I did when I plotted my redemption, revenge...
Matthew 6:14
Col 3:13
It's a simple message that can be shown in complicated and unique ways, when your eyes are open and this becomes normal to you.
