When we were out fishing and filming Reel It In, I realized that we reeled in the dumb fish while the smart fish got away. When a smart fish gets hooked it fights to get away. That fish will fight until it snaps the line and it will live the rest of its life with a hook in its mouth, but at least its living free. How many of us get hooked and stay hooked? When we do, we are like the dumb fish. Get under the anointing of God’s word and get released!
How Much Do We Contribute To Our Own Offense?
What causes offense? Something happens and we think we don’t deserve that type of treatment so we get upset. We need to realize that other people have issues too. We need to get our thoughts off of ourselves, think about God’s Word and what HE says (instead of what we think) and we need to give people a break.
Can You Say “This Was A GREAT Day?” (How To Avoid Offense)
1. Realize what our triggers are and avoid them.
– Do we have road rage? Leave early, slow down, relax and let everyone else pass YOU.
2. If we aren’t in such a hurry, the slow checkout clerk won’t be nearly as frustrating.
– In fact, maybe we can even say a kind word, smile at them and pray for them to have a good day and to have kind customers.
3. Maybe we can be PREPARED to be kind to that annoying or frustrating person who we would prefer to avoid. Maybe we can give them a break – just as God gives us a break.
Enjoy Your Life
It’s your bat and ball just keep playing until you win. Don’t let them ruin your life. People will try to drive you crazy, make you mad, steal your joy and ruin your life. Set your mind upon the Lord. Love is the KEY!
“Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.” (1 Corinthians 13:13)
God Forgives Us The BIG Debt So That We Can Forgive Others For The LITTLE Debts
Thank you that I am FREE, I am HEALED and I REFUSE to let another day go by without TOTAL FREEDOM. I’m practicing the CATCH AND RELEASE program. I catch the thought and I let it go. AMEN!
