Wednesday’s Word
Has someone ever offered you their opinion without you
asking for it? It can be unnerving at times, can’t it?
Welcome to Coffee Hour with Chicklit Power and Wednesday’s
Word with Trench Classes United. I’m so happy you joined me for some heart to
heart time.
So I’m just going to get right to it, what’s in my heart
that is, so come on in for a sneak peek at my journal and a personal struggle.
Journal entry: “Lord,
I’m really struggling to not stay in my head about people who profess to have
accepted you, to love you, and yet…don’t necessarily live for you. At least
that’s my opinion.”
What came out of my pen rendered me humbled, and I know it
was Him, because Coffee Hour Friend, I know firsthand that He speaks to us in
ways unique to us and since I was writing to Him He wrote through me!
Daughter, I’m not asking for your
opinion; I’m merely asking you to love them!
Talk about a sweet piece of humble pie!
And then I flipped the pages back in a study I’m doing about
being thankful…and I came across this answer to the question: what has been your response to new life in
Jesus and in what ways is death still to come, meaning in what ways do I still
need to die so I can grow?
My answer: New life
has taken time. It’s been a process of dying; some things slower to die than
others, and still some things just needing that one little cut to be dead that
I would continue to rise in Christ.”
Conclusion: My opinion of someone else’s relationship with
Christ can actually interfere with my own relationship with Christ and is of no
significance compared to how I love them.
Can I encourage you, Coffee Hour friend as it says in 1stPeter 4:8: Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over
a multitude of sins.
Love,
Kim-Evinda
