LET’S BE GOOD-HEARTED (Day 4 of 6)
(Need to start at the beginning? Day 1)
What makes it harder for you to be good-hearted?
[Love] does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful. 1 Corinthians 13:5 ESV
A lack of fairness? Exhaustion? Emotional hunger?
I get cranky when I’m tired. I just sort of run out of what I need to function well and hit a wall. Self-care becomes huge because I need the energy to make wiser choices when dealing with others.
I’ll own I have a harder time not being irritable when dealing with not nice people. It’s hard to stay calm in the face of selfish people (they’re not being right or fair) or to stay kind when others are being rude. I want to be like Jesus in any situation instead of responding in (not so nice) kind. It’s a work in progress.
Take the day to look at your particular struggles. What can you learn from that?
I hope your day is full of joy and fun, time well spent with family & friends, and lots of pie.
Merry Christmas! May His blessing of calm and love settle on your homes today.
