Good Girl
Good Girl
You ever get in that position where you know the right thing, and yet somehow it gets pushed back in your face as being the wrong thing? I think that is how one feels when you are in a relationship. All you want is for that person to right their wrong. You want them to see the goodness, and not focus on the small stuff. We hear the saying, “hurt people, hurt people”; you want to know where such madness derives? I think it derives from dwelling on internal turmoil. Not releasing your cares on God and not internalizing the word of God. Here are several that I want you to read and reflect upon.
-
Romans 12:19 ESV - Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”
-
Hebrews 12:15 ESV - See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled
-
Colossians 3:13 ESV - Bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.
-
Matthew 18:22 ESV- Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven.
After reading the above what does the spirit of God say to you? How does that relate to my subject Good Girls? What does it have to do with relationships? Where does it fit in the grand scheme of things? For me, it boils down to is trust. Knowing that nothing is going to be easy. Nothing is going to be cut and dry. Furthermore, not everything is going to make sense the first time around. What seems to be so simple sometimes is the most complex thing in which one could ever encounter. Therefore, the next time you engage in something that seems as though you need to attack it, stop, think, and decide, what would the Good book tell you to do?
