The Ways & Words of Others 3-?-14
When we are offended by another person, we can respond in
several different fashions: we can pout, pity ourselves, take it
out on someone else (the easiest), or pray (the hardest).
When we pout, we pollute ourselves with the poison of displeasure.
It's like pouring a teaspoon-full of black dye into a clear glass
of pure water and watching the darkness take over. It ruins the
beauty that light brings to life. Pouting brings distress into
our lives--not deliverance.
When we pity ourselves, we are simply poisoning ourselves.
Self-pity distorts our thinking, disrupts our work, disturbs
our body and even disfigures our face with wrinkles. It
depresses our friends, demoralizes our life, and above all,
dishonors our Lord.
When we take hurt out on others, it not only pains them,
but will come right back to pain us as well--doubling up the
hurt that was already there. Revenge is like a boomerang:
Although it flies into the path of the other person, it will
eventually come back to attack us in the process. It can hit
the one who threw it with the heaviest blow.
When we pray, we protect ourselves and place responsibility
for settling the score up to God. We are God's children and
what offends us offends Him, what hurts us will hurt Him,
and what affects us has already affected Him.
A negative reaction to a negative situation will always result
in a negative outcome...so think positive & pray. Rechell Williams
