Scripture: 1 John 2:9 Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness. <\/p>\n
Observation: I want to walk in the light, I teach a class at the church, I serve at church, I read my bible every day and do this journal so why am I still walking in the dark? Lately any thought I have about others is negative and if I let it, it grows to anger. Not only is my initial feeling negative, but it lingers with me to the point if I see that person again I\u2019m mad at them for now reason. The way I think of others is the opposite of how Jesus would treat them or expect me to treat them.<\/p>\n
Application: I need to be convicted right away if I feel poorly about someone and think right away of how Jesus would feel. All the love and grace He has given me and yet I can\u2019 return the favor to others. I need to make the way I treat others a priority I must make a better effort to look at others as my brothers and sisters and children of the Lord.<\/p>\n
Prayer: My Lord forgive me for being so mean and hurtful to others in my thoughts. I want to be kind and loving to others and be a representative for you but I\u2019m a sinner. Help me repay the grace you have given me to others and that they would feel loved and important by the way I treat them and my thoughts towards them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
