Hello!
As I stated from my previous "Women in the Word Wed." post, I am still focusing on bearing the fruit of gentleness and self control. In my quiet time today, I revisited my personal journal and read upon an entry that focuses on my goal.
Entry: 4/28/10-- "I was reading a book I picked up from the Dollar Tree titled, 101 Ways to Simplify Your Life. Way #95, "Have Faith in the Process", spoke to my spirit. I liked these words:
"You may not be able to figure it all out. It's simpler to place it in God's hands and trust the process. Let things unfold as they will and allow God to lead every step of the way."
When I am not gentle or let my emotions get the best of me, I beat myself up about it. Nobody's perfect. I must bring those thoughts into captivity and think positively. (2 Corinthians 10:4-5 - "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.")
I must renew my mind. I'm gettting better and I must continue to "Have Faith in the Process".
Until next time....
I'm right with you Gertha, when I'm not gentle or am "a little touchy" I am great at beating myself up. Sometimes I just have to remind myself that there is only One who is perfect...and it's not me. :) Thanks so much for joining me today on Good Morning Girls! Praying for you! :)
