Be completely humble and gentle;
be patient, bearing with one another in love.
Ephesians 4:2 (NIV)
Where did my patience go? Somebody cut me off in traffic, and I blew my horn long enough to gather some ugly attention. My boss ridiculed my latest proposal, and I spewed a few words that should not have been spewed. I am officially spiraling off the map.
Breathe on me, Holy Spirit. Please give me the restraint, the love, and the power to be and do what is right. Even when people around me are annoying or unfair or mean spirited. I want to inspire others, not drive them away!
Questions for Pondering….
When have I lost my cool?
What are some Biblical ways to avoid these pitfalls in the future?
