Be the bigger person
I am constantly reminded on how I should treat people...as I would like to be treated. BUT it is so hard when someone treats you like crap or their personal slave to return their rudeness with kindness. It is truly something I struggle with daily. Some days I am a rockstar and I just grin and bare it. BUT there are just some people that get under my skin very quickly. Those are the ones I really need to work at being a better person, Christian and human with.
Terri you need to remember
Psalm 86:15
But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. (NIV)
Proverbs 15:18
A hot-tempered man stirs up dissension, but a patient man calms a quarrel. (NIV)
Ouch! This is a nice realty call.
Colossians 3:12-13
Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. (NLT)
I should live more like this:
1 Corinthians 13:4–8a
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. (NIV)
Yes, I am being hard on myself for being rude back to someone today, but I guess if I didn't feel bad I'd be just like she is and I never want to be like that person. She could have stared in the movie "Mean Girls". I won't be that person again, some of us grow up and make up for person we might have been when we were younger.
