When I was younger I use to say that I needed to be on my own island..................far far away from other people When people irritate me I say "Absolutely Irritating", because people tend to irritate me. I have very low tolerance for stupidity and inconsiderateness, and it seems that those type of people are around me everywhere that I go. But the Lord is dealing with me on that. I asked Him to help me to deal with people. Now, this is not to say that I'm going to let people treat me any kind of way or say anything they want o me . My mother didn't raise a wimp or a whipping post, and Jesus took everything that we could and would ever go through upon Himself on the cross so that I wouldn't have to. We don't have to take people being rude to us. But there's a right way of going about not taking people "crap". I, myself, don't often use this method, but I know how to do it right. My mother always told me to just pray and "kill them with kindness" - even though i wanted to kill them with something else, but that's not the God way to do things. But we must show mercy to others - if you sow mercy; you'll reap mercy. You reap what you sow (Galation 6:6-8). I know this. This I must learn. It's alittle bit easier for me to sow mercy to people that don't do stupid stuff, but we should also show mercy to them as well. Keep praying for me, I haven't gotten there yet, but I'm much much closer than when I first began. When we sow mercy it is an act of love. When a love one gets into trouble, and you show mercy towards them, pick them up and cover them in the name of Jesus, it is an act of love. We must learn to love one another just like that. No one is perfect, and love covers a multitude of sins (I Peter 4:7-9, Prov. 10:12)
