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...
