I find so much comfort in this verse. I was sitting here this afternoon crying. My feelings were so hurt over one person I don’t even know. Poppa, that person doesn’t even know me and she doesn’t even want wants best (for the other person involved). I used to be a person that hates change, I’m still not fond of it; BUT, we have to change to grow. If someone is changing and no longer sitting in a place of death why would you want to pull them back in? What kind of sick, twisted person does that? Certainly not a friend. I found this dialogue going on in my head and this is what I should… just be still daughter. They are puppets for the enemy, blinded by his evil. They have no idea the hold he has over them. Pray for them. Pray for them I thought, but they are trying to destroy… Pray for your enemies, pray. I thought on this. My tears are gone and I’m now understanding the contrite spirit part of this verse as peace floods my soul. I had to let my hurt and anger go and pray for them and leave them in the Lord’s hands. But in this, I found the Lord was right there nigh until me. Speaking to me through it with tears running down my face. He listens my friends and He’s here for us. Cry out to Him and He will hear you! 💛 ~ Chelle, #f8ithgal
