a daughter falling in love with the heart of her beloved Father; And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge —that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:17-19

When someone offends us, it is easy to dwell on our hurts and justify an ungodly response of anger or bitterness. However, just as God has forgiven us of our sins through His son Jesus Christ, we are to forgive others. To forgive means to send the offense completely away from our hearts and mind. We no longer dwell on the offense or keep a record of it in our hearts. It also means that we respond to the offender in grace, returning an offense with a blessing, even if the offender does not deserve it. Who do you need to forgive and show grace to today?

Worry and anxiety are unbelief. They focuses on trusting in self, rather than trusting the sovereignty of God. Worry and anxiety dwell on what God teaches us not to dwell on [Phil 4:8]. They lead to complaining and grumbling, which God hates [Phil 2:14]. Worry and anxiety encourage us to take control over our own situations instead of trusting God, fooling us to think that we are wiser than God. The opposite of worry and anxiety is to trust God. Trusting God shifts our attention from self to God’s love, wisdom, and power. We recognize that God is in control and that He is worthy to be trusted during our trials. Trusting God gives us the strength to love and serve others, even when things are challenging for ourselves. 🙏 If you are worried or anxious today, repent and pray to God with thanksgiving, making your requests known to Him, and He will guard your heart and mind with His peace [Phil 4:4-7].

[herbiblicalcounsel]

The world tells us to follow our hearts and trust in our feelings because who knows ourselves the best but us? The Bible says otherwise. Our heart is desperately sick and full of evil. Listening to our hearts will only lead us down the path of destruction. When something feels “good” and right that is contrary to God’s Word, take a moment to preach to yourself “the heart is deceitful” and make the decision to turn away from your ways and instead to God and His ways. Take hold of the promise that he will make your paths straight. His ways always lead to joy and peace.

Reconciliation can be hard. Sometimes the hurt really hurts. Wounds are deep and trust is broken. But just as God has forgiven and reconciled with us, we are to forgive and reconcile with others. Holding bitterness is a clear violation of God’s commands. Instead, loving others, even when they are difficult to love, is the most biblically thing you can do.

Today I just realized again that all I need is God. No matter what happens, he is there to catch me. He is there - with his love, strength, peace, faithfulness, holiness - I can’t describe how beautiful it is to live in his presence. I can’t describe how thankful I am to have him and to belong to him. The moment I step out of his presence I am lost. But thank God, my shepherd always knows where to find me. I love you Jesus.
