I was sitting down, waiting for Magnus to come over to pray and getting irritated. Not at anything in specific, but at things in general. I was ready to just let it all out on Magnus; getting pissy and what not. Before Magnus got here though I spent time with Jesus and was convicted. I need to let Jesus have it first and foremost before letting that overflow on anyone else.
As God created me, I am to love, minister and build up those around me. Does that mean I can't have a bad day from time to time and talk things through with someone? Of course not, I'm part of the Body of Christ and part of that is allowing others to console me. But what that does mean is that I should not harbor all those feelings and be prepared to blurt them all out on someone without bringing them to Jesus first. He is to be the one who receives and gives me grace above all else, from there I can truly love those around me whether in sharing my troubles or in the love he grants to overflow to others.
