Good
Morning!
You
know what? I just had the thought that maybe some of you wish I
would start these "encouragements" off with something else other
than "Good Morning! I am thinking to myself...."Luanne, they may
be tired of that....you have been saying the same thing for over two
years now". It really is a "sincere, heartfelt greeting" from
me, but I welcome your comments about this.
Well,
I don't know what that is all about, but I will get back to "work"
and let the Holy Spirit bring us a "word" for today~~~~~
I want
to talk to you, today, about "fretting".....In the 13th chapter
of 1Corinthians, we have been given specific instructions on how to keep the
"Commandment of Love" that Jesus has given to us as Christians. The
verses 4 - 8 tell us how we can know whether or not we are walking
in love....it is a "check list", and we need to go over this
list every day!
In verse 5 (Amplified Bible), it says that if
we are walking in love, then we will not be "fretful"...one of the
definitions of being "fretful" is to be "irritated"!
Hello!
I
know from personal experience that it can be very tempting to be
"irritated" by certain people or situations....but, beware! This
is one of the enemy's devices to keep us from walking in "Love".
(2Corinthians 2:11 says that we are not to be ignorant of Satan's
devices)!
We need to make sure that we are not
"irritating" someone, or allowing them to "irritate" us.
By the way....let me know if my "Good Morning" irritates you.
More
about this tomorrow~~~~~~
