“For as long as it’s still God’s Today, keep each other on your toes so sin doesn’t slow down your reflexes. If we can only keep our grip on the sure thing we started out with, we’re in this with Christ for the long haul.”
Hebrews 3:12-13
A toxic attitude is dangerous territory, DearHeart.
This is a simple message. But it will carry you.
Be slick.
Cover your mind, mood, and emotions so thickly with the Holy Spirit that bitter words,
and hate-filled voices,
and aggressive body language slide right past you.
Be slick.
No matter who they are, or what kind of hatred darts they try to claim on you.
Be slick.
They own their issues. Not you. You have your own stuff to work out. God is dealing with their bitterness on a level not meant for you or me to understand.
Be respectful.
Be obedient and gentle with God’s child.
But, do not, DO NOT, be slammed down by the enemy’s psychotic attempt to destroy your peace. Especially, when that attempt comes through one who’s heart may be troubled.
That is not for you or me to judge.
You are in the shelter of GOD ALMIGHTY. DearOne, you don’t have to react back to them with the same bitterness they deliver to you.
Their ‘coping with life’ problems do not belong to you.
Their hate is not your hate to own. God will deal with them.
God is dealing with you. And, me.
Be slick.
Fire the stabs they deliver as far as the east is from the west. And, pray for them to own their peace with the Creator.
Wake up.
Be slick.
Go.
