Or is the definition: ancient idea that modern man has disproved?<br /><br />Why am I afraid to say, no this is not my opinion, it is truth when I get that response?<br /><br />There must be a way to say it in love without coming off sounding arrogant.<br /><br />Any ideas out there?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11163879664929603251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439331035718369167.post-42902706755672359912010-08-09T08:57:44.493-05:002010-08-09T08:57:44.493-05:00This is so true.

They actually said that it's annoying that I post things about the Lord all the time. And I felt so insulted and wanted to turn around be sharp-tongued. But instead, I prayed and realized that even though it is insulting to them, I can only show them love and pray for them because they just want to instill anger, fear, and sorrow so that I can join in their misery. I took a minute to look at her profile and realized she was outwardly miserable and in her words "hates life." So I prayed and told them I'm sorry it insulted them, but I hope that their day was better and blessed. That may be annoying to them too, but my heart was moved and I knew God was asking me to pray for her, so that she could come to know and love Him and seek Him for strength.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
