Every week that passes and you don't call to check in on us, I let a little more resentment build up in my heart.
Every time you do for others, or go for others, or attend for others, more than us and your own, I let a little more resentment build up in my heart.
Every time I hear you talk about others, when I know you're walking in those same shoes, I let a little more resentment build up in my heart.
Until hear I am, and when I hear your name, I almost cringe..
Because I've let this bitterness take ahold of me and my joy.
Why?
When my Jesus died on that cross He didn't die for me to sit hear and wallow around in this mess that I'VE created. He died so that I can be FREE from ALL OF MY CHAINS.
not just the ones that are ugly to the world. But, also the ones that are ugly to The Lord.
The hurt, anger, wrath, and the bitterness.
The brokenness.
He died and paid the price that I could not have paid so that I have the chance to change this cycle. So that I can face the fact that some people are cruel and unfair and just down right mean. But I do not have to let them steal my joy.
and what happens when we let those people win is we ultimately become like them,
we become fixated on their problems and why they act the way they do,
and before we know it, we're sitting on the porch having to pull the board out of our eye..
we cannot be the wives, employees, students, mothers, or leaders that we've been called to be if we let petty things take the font line in our lives and control our thoughts and hearts.
My Jesus Didn't Die For That.
My Jesus died so I could be free.
AND TODAY, HE IS ALIVE AND I AM FORGIVEN.
all that I am ♡
