Day 4: His Reactionary Response

You wake up

all is well...

well so you think~

and then

"IT" happens

Something happens

Something unexpectantly

Something that ruffles your feathers

and

you start flapping your wings

and start doing

and saying things

that you never thought

would ever come out of your mouth

Hmm...

Sounds familiar?

Well it sounds very familiar to me

when reactionary Joni

emerges

without her even knowing,

at the moment her heart gets hurt

and she doesn't understand why.

Was it something she said?

Was it something that she did?

When deep in her heart, she did not think she was doing anything wrong.

Her motives were pure

Her God was walking with her

But then it still happened~

reactionary Joni reacting.

It didn't matter

if she was right

or if she was wrong

Now what?

Has it happened to you~

when you wish you could take back

what you said

what you did

because of

what you said

what you did

doesn't match who your really are?

So what now?

What does the reactionary Joni

do now

when her reaction

was the reaction that she wish she didn't do?

Oh how she wishes she could take back what she said

because it wasn't what was on her heart~

her heart that is filled with

the love of the

One

who

loves

unconditionally.

You fall

You stumble

then what

You remember

I remember

that

Jesus

Came

because we all fall short

of who God made us to be

as

He

comes to

Pick us up

and

Wipes off our knees

and

Looks at our face

as

He wipes our tears

And says

I love you

My Daughter

I love you

My Son.

Simply~

I love you

His Amazing love

because

of

His Amazing Grace

because

God doesn't react to our falling short

. "If God would have reacted to our sinful nature and gave us what we deserved, He would have never offered a solution.

Instead, God took action;

He acted out of His love and His grace

and offered forgiveness through His Son." (Weightless Flying Free)

So

How does she next time

How do you the next time

Respond

instead of

Reacting?

She remembers

You remember

that

"A child of God believes God’s Word,

Trusts in the Author and not in feelings,

Draws strength from the Holy Spirit, and

Abides in Jesus Christ.

If one is walking in these truths,

he/she will tend to take appropriate action when triggered,

rather than reacting emotionally." (Weightless Flying Free)

So

Will you join me today and

Respond to

His Amazing Grace

and

PUT ON

his amazing love

because

I'm forgiven cause You were forsaken I'm accepted, You were condemned I am alive and well, Your spirit is within me 'Cause You died and rose again

amazing love, how can it be? That You, my King would die for me? Amazing love, I know its true...
