Let
A Woman Speak
"A
Cry from the Heart" by Lisa
1st Peter chapter 2 (verse 1) Wherefore
laying aside all malice,
and all guile, and hypocrisies, and all evil speaking.
While reading this verse it brought a lot of feelings and mostly
denial due to me wanting to think none of these apply
to me and how I treat others. One particular situation stood out.
Acouple of years ago I went to a women's convention and this certain
lady just crawled under my skin. She was nosy, asked a lot of
questions about my personal life and at the time I was walking
through a divorce that had gone bad.
My
friend had left me and her in the hotel room together and she
began to ask me things, my response to her was very mean, sarcastic,
snippy and inconsiderate of how it may have made her feel. About
20 minutes of this back and forth went on with me and this lady.
I
turned and looked at her and she began to cry and said to me "You're
not the only one going through something, I'm hurting too and going
through a lot myself", You"re not the only one that has feelings
and you should stop and think about the other person before you
just take it upon yourself to say stuff without knowing or caring
about others.
At
that moment my heart began to melt, I could see and feel her pain
and the need she had to be Loved, she needed someone and I couldn't
see or help her due to my own personal opinion of who I thought
she was.
I
learned a valuable lesson that day. She and I became
friends and I was able to apologize and ask her what I could do
to help her through this situation.
"GOD"
uses all situations, people and things to get our attention.
From that day on I have been conscientious of where people might
be, what they might be going through and to see them through the
eyes of "GOD" rather than my own eyes.
Being soldiers of GOD we MUST put aside
the lies we tell ourselves about who we are, stop pretending to
be something we're not, stop speaking against each other and stop
wanting what others have.
I
will close with saying LOVE the ones you feel distanced to the
same as the ones you feel close too.
Thank you Father and may ALL the Glory
be yours .
