Help, I've Been Robbed!!!

I've been vacationing. Not just from home, but from really digging in God's Word. Man, I really do feel like crap on the inside and the out! So, there's this stuff....I live with every day.....I feel I'm being wronged all the time. Man, I must have done something really bad to have to suffer like this. It always seems like such a good excuse to live something different in my mind. It's all just make believe anyways, right? Nope. While I don't have anything mind blowing to share God's been talking to me through this sleepy little get away town that I'm in. The pastor at the First Baptist Church of Tinytown shared Sunday evening that we are supposed to be quick with mercy and forgiveness. That, is something I am NOT! And because I'm not, I'm the wrong doer! What??!! That can't be right, me being the one doing wrong??!! Yeah, I know that's what you were thinking, (me too..shhhh) Now, because of this....I am actually the robber..I'm robbing myself of my joy and sanity! As much as that offends me it's the awful truth. God's Word kinda drove it home tonight. Here's what it is......
I Thessalonians 4
mya, I've been instructing you how to live in My Word. you're living still BTW. (I felt really terrible the other night because of how I eat and I thought maybe I wouldn't make it through the night, so I cried out to God to save me from my eating stupidity.) It's My Will that you will be sanctified, being made holy through trials. Control your mind in a way that is holy and honorable! Make it your ambition to mind your own business and not have an idle mind or hands. Do everything to My glory.

So all I can do is respond....
Precious Lord Jesus, thank You for allowing me to live! Help me to control my mind so it will be holy and honorable to You! Help me to find something to do everyday to bring glory to You. Grant me Your mercy and forgiveness to share with others who I think have wronged me.

So, I'm tired of being the robber and I want my joy and sanity back! I gotta mind my own business...my own heart business...and leave the other hearts to their Creator!
Whatever you do, do it with all your heart and for the Glory of your Lord Jesus Christ, not yourself or man. Colossians 3:23 (mpw)
