The devil would love it, if I became filled with bitterness and resentment toward those that were entrusted with my care. I'm reminding myself that God was and continues to be soverign and in control of all things. Todays message on love challenges me to reach out in love to everyone; even doctor's and nurse's that seemed to make mistakes. I pray God's love will so fill me that I have compassion for them and complete joy in knowing that God had a purpose in everything that happened. I'm reminded of Phil.4:8-9 "...Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned from me and heard from me and saw me doing, and the God of peace will be with you."Life Recovery Bible, NLT.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
