This morning I woke up to a very simple message in my inbox that tore me at my core. My first response was one of anger and then it turned to hurt. I wanted to respond back to this person and just tell them exactly how I felt....to plead my case in this situation they were mentioning. I knew they only had one side of the story and my flesh wanted them to hear mine. But I waited.
Through my wait, I knew that God was giving me a choice. He had laid 2 paths out in front of me and it was my choice which to take. I waited.
As I waited, I heard the lyrics "Let my words be life" sing in my mind. I knew that God was speaking to me. I knew that even though I had justifiable reasons to be upset with this message I received, I had to let my words speak life.
So, I opened up the computer cause I was going to nicely respond but I knew it was more than I wanted to type on my smartphone.
"Let your words be life"
I closed the computer.....took out my phone and just responded with a simple "thank you" and left it at that. I knew that nothing positive was going to come from a lengthy response. I know who I am and more importantly, I know who I am in Jesus so I don't need to justify anything to them.
God speaks to us daily - hour by hour - in different ways. Are we listening?
