This always happens. I'm preaching on loving your enemies this week. Not a big deal since I really don't have any real enemies. No real big grudges, life is good.
Then this week I'm smacked in the face with a few situations where I have to actually practice what I'm preaching about this week. I hate that.
If you're wondering whether I'm talking about you, why yes I am. Just kidding. It's nobody who reads this blog.
Maybe next week I'll preach on an area where I actually want to do the homework, like the danger of having too much leisure time or something.
I recall asking you once that if someone says they are your enemy, are they your enemy?
Are the people you are dealing with this week enemies because you say they are, or because they say they are?
I trust your friends are available to you this week while you do your 'homework.'
Save trip to London, go under the mercy.
Bene:
Good questions.
It's probably too strong to call them enemies; just people I need to forgive this week, and not repay in kind. Harder than it seems sometimes!
Ever notice that when one prays for patience, one is put in situations that require that one exercise patience?
Careful what you ask for....
