Today I received a very needed reminder of how an spiritual attitude should be. Actually a couple of reminders. It’s not just one’s duty to help one another but to also be kind to one another. Today, while out with my daughter and granddaughters, I got an attitude with a man and then a woman in two different situations. The man walked too close to my granddaughter like he didn’t see her and I got smart and told him he was rude, then I got smart with a lady that skipped in front of me in Wal Mart.
Yes, such a spiritual growing person as myself, got smart with an attitude. Notice I said spiritual growing as I am no where near perfect and as I have stated previously, I am ever growing. It made me realize that there are trials and tribulations of life but there are tests of your growth as well. I have progressed tremendously but I am still growing and there is still so much work left for me to do. I strive to be the best I can be but better than I used to be. I’m also reminded, growing up my mother used to say, two wrongs don’t make one right.
I was reminded, there are other ways of dealing with rude people other than being rude yourself. The fact that I can speak this makes me realize how far I have come, how much I have grown and how strong I have become. This also makes me realize there is much more growth to come and I am excited to see what God does next in my life.
Although, the growth is there, I have to ask for forgiveness for my sinful attitude today and every other day that I fall short of his Glory. This is part of me seeking him to guide me in over coming my weaknesses, walking closer to Jesus and becoming more like him.
Nobody’s perfect but we can strive to be the best vessel that God calls us to be.
A BRAND NEW KIND OF ME
