Work has been extra stressful, and today I snapped. Yup, Becky Crabtree snapped. Was it pretty? NO!
Was it worth it? NO! Am I proud?
Absolutely NOT! Did I apologize? Yes! Did I learn my lesson? I sure hope so! I don’t want to see the side of Becky for a
long time.
Life is tough! But as
I reflect on today, and where I, Becky, went wrong…it is the pure fact I
expected an unbeliever to live like a believer!
I forgot to have grace and to see her as a being that doesn’t live for
anyone but herself. She doesn’t know the
Lord in a personal way. She is living
for her #1. I can’t expect her to live
any differently. And I gave in. I snapped back. I did not love her. The grace was not pouring forth. Selfishness ‘popped’ out of my mouth so
quickly. Wrong. I was wrong. I had to
apologize for snapping. NO matter how
she treats me, no matter what she says to me, NO MATTER what, I need to love
her. I need to give more grace. I need to live as an example of Christ. And HE did NOT lash out…even when He was
hurting, deeply. He loved. He lived for
His Father. He is the ultimate
example. He NEVER gave up…no matter how
strong the negative nagging of this world!
THANK goodness. Thank YOU Father
for the example. Thank you for the
reminder today. For humbling my attitude to apologize. May I shine Your light. I am sorry for letting you down! Continue to refine me. AMEN!
