For man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.
So yesterday I got a chance to see this first hand , someone at work offended me 3 times , every time I kinda knew I should just let it go , but the third time I confronted ... not good.
I did not accomplish my goal , his goal , and certainly not the fathers .
I think that most of Gods goal was to bring me to the freedom of humility , that wonderful place where you have enough peace and security in him that you think less of yourself .
I mean honestly , when I am reading the bible regularly and praying , I am seeing my own faults,
and not trying to protect my reputation (whatever that means anyway!).
once again the trial was leading to maturity ... I failed this time , but maybe not next time .
I thank him for his mercy to try again , and to not give up on me .
SEE YOU NEXT ROUND PRIDE!!!!
