Sometimes we encounter people that are having a bad day. Whether we think it's fair or not, we may have to endure the brunt of their frustration. Even when we are faced with bitterness, anger, or frustration, we need to react in a way that demonstrates kindness and forgiveness. This can be easier said than done, but we have a perfect example in God's plan for our forgiveness!
There are times when we take out our anger and frustration on God. When we do not give control to God, we may begin blaming Him for the outcomes in our lives. There are times when we even start to drift or walk away. Through everything, God loves us. He will comfort us. He will forgive us. When we need to show grace and mercy to those in our lives, we can learn from and imitate the grace and mercy that God gives to us. We can be kind and forgiving!
Be kind and forgiving, even in the face of anger, bitterness, and frustration from others!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the grace and mercy You extend to me in my life. Help me to show similar grace and mercy to those in my life. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
