There was a difficult day last week when I barked at the girls and they (not surprisingly) replied angrily. At our house some of us struggle with being critical and harsh. I went for a walk because I was angry, frustrated, and sick of it all. Five minutes into my walk, God told me to go back and love those girls. I knew He was going to tell me that; sometimes He is predictable! I knew that when I walked back into my house, I could be met with more disrespectful talk and more insulting and discouraging "humor". The amazing thing is that I did find the love in my heart to go back home and reconnect with my children. And because I was believing that Jesus was in my heart, it wasn't even that hard, and things went better. That day I saw that the love of God really is in my heart (Romans 5:5), because I know that apart from Him I wouldn't be able to love when it's hard.
1 John 2:5-6 By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked....
I pray that you and I will experience what this verse means.
