I was happy to find out from today's step that I don't have to 'get in touch' with the grief or the anger. This helps me a lot because it's far less painful to 'take every thought captive' and not to continually live in the negative emotions. This doesn't mean I don't share the truth of my emotions and feelings with God, otherwise I would not be able to have an intimate relationship with Him. It means I move on from those emotions like anger, fear and pride, with the Word of God alongside the Holy Spirit to help me.

I have some experience of this working too. I chose to have compassion and be slow to anger with my family. I chose to have a soft answer - a quiet voice. This has become a part of me now, so I can see how the mind is renewed.

I also found it quite an eye opener to realise that other people are not the source of blame for my problems. It kind of makes it easier to love them when you know that satan is the real author

AMen and amen again. Our enemy seeks all he can to kill, steal and destroy...if he can kill our spirits through actions of others, he will..if we allow it. He loves using God's childen against each other. We have to remember that we all have the same enemy who is set out to destroy us.

We, though, have the Holy Spirit within us..and satan only has the power over our lives that we give him. Greater is He in us than he who is in the world. Forgiving is easier when we realize that our enemy is not the person who hurt us but satan, who has hurt those souls who have hurt us. Praying for them is much easier...blessing them.

Keep going sister in Jesus. He is showing you so much. Im praying for you along this path..as so many are.

In Jesus,
love momo
