I’m neither a democrat nor a republican but wow… I looked up the words ‘republicans’ and ‘whining’ and found some interesting results on Yahoo search. Enough said.

My goodness. I know too many instigators in this life of mine. Too many that I cannot afford to keep in my life if I’m going to be growing. I’ve never known a more trifling individual as this one. I pray for strength DAILY, forcing my flesh to die before I totally lose my mind. Especially after the wonderful message about not allowing bitterness ruin what the Spirit has birthed within us–a spirit of love and patience. But seriously, this person should really know better. I almost feel like I’m being targeted or manipulated for some kind of response. My feelings are not unwarranted because this exact person has done this before. I really want to give this person the benefit of the doubt, but are you serious?

Well like 1 Corinthians 13 says… “If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don’t love, I’m nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate.” Love is patient and kind and doesn’t fly off the handle and doesn’t keep scores of wrong. Lord, help me really be patient with this person.

I know this new journey I’m on to live fully and purposely in love will be difficult, considering that the devil comes in many forms to kill, steal and destroy. But I refuse to let him get to me through this. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
