What you need to hear won't always be what you want to hear. This seems to be the message for this week. Actually, this saying is always true! God has recently been showing me this importance of not causing strife. For many reasons, I will unknowingly pick fights with people. It is a reaction to what ever stress is going on in my life but is harmful to my surroundings. Do I deep down want to destroy my relationships? No! And so I have been working on this bad habit to preserve future relations with my family and friends. This self discipline for some reason is rather difficult because the moment that I open my mouth, the words simply flow out. How do I prevent this? Lots of prayer, practice and apologies. Meditating on God's word, letting it soak in.
Want to hear the good news? God likes me! He knew everything about me (past, present and future) and still genuinely likes me. Weird, right? Well, it's the same for you too! Most people know that God loves you (John 3:16 being the most popular verse in the Good Book) but not that he likes you. He wants to see you succeed!
