Hard love

For some reason that I dont even know, a thought of loving people when its hard came to mind. It got me thinking about unhelpful comments that people made. Those comments were made out of full ignorance which was what got me annoyed and kinda hurt!! Scary how a simple thought like that got me thinking and feeling the pain again, before i know it, i spent at least the last 30 minutes thinking about it and getting angry and annoyed at what happen.

As im walking down the valley of bitterness and hurt from those unhelpful comments, my heavenly dad is pulling me away that i may come back to the top and not reaching the bottom of the valley. By that i mean my heavenly dad is reminding me about his awesomeness and goodness towards me before i start to hate those people who hurt my feelings.

If my heavenly dad is able to forgive me who was not just making unhelpful comments but fully reject him inside out, i should be compelled to do the same to those who hurt me. I was such a big pain in my dad's eyes because of sin that i carry around with me, but regardless of that, he still loves me and forgive me.

What reason do I have now to complain and get angry at those who were just making unhelpful comments??  Surely  people unhelpful comments are are nothing in comparison to my sin!!

"For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again."  2 corinthians 5:14-15 (NIV, 1984)
