‘GOD, WHAT SHOULD I SAY HERE?’ (REPOST)

That was me looking to Him as to how to respond to a question my husband had asked. Trust me, I had LOTS to say, but with one glimpse in God’s direction, I knew He would have me to hold back those words and be kind. Nik, say anything you want to me, but to others, practice silence.

This morning, when I asked Him about it again, like God, why can’t I address this issue, I feel He had this to say:

“DO NOT EXPECT to be treated fairly in this life. People will say and hurtful things to you don’t deserve. When someone mistreats you, try to view it as an opportunity to grow in grace. See how quickly you can forgive the one who has wounded you. DON’T BE CONCERNED ABOUT SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT. Instead of obsessing about other people’s opinions of you, KEEP YOUR FOCUS ON ME. Ultimately, it is my view of you that counts…

When others treat you unfairly, remember that My ways with you are much better than fair. My ways are Peace and Love, which I have poured out into your heart by My Spirit.” – Jesus Calling

And this husband who EXCEEDS my expectations deserves all the love, respect, and kindness from me. I told him this morning, “This was why God told me, “MARRY HIM!!!” when we first met. When I say God gives me more than I can imagine or expect, my husband is a prime example. Like I always say, “We ain’t perfect, but we’re damn close!”

Hubby is the one teaching me how to love, and God has asked me to share these love (sometimes very messy) lessons with you guys. God is love. Point. Blank. Period. And we should be about enacting His love in the world. So, when God told me to SHHHH, be kind, Nik, I knew right away that this was the loving, high road, and best way to go. Nobody’s perfect! I want us to reflect the God is love character in all our relationships!!! KK?!? Where God is, there is peace, joy and love. Let’s stay in His Presence.

I have lots of work with a big ball I have in the air now, but even with that, I KNOW GOD HAS MY BACK. I’m sticking with this verse:

“These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world, you have tribulation but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” – John 16:33

God has the final say! Wink! Wink!
