For those of you who know me...You know that I can be very short tempered and impatient alot of times...This year God and I have been working on that. Becoming a person who is patient and slow to anger is a painful and difficult process...which I fail at quite often. One thing that has helped me tremendously is meditating on scripture throughout the day. My favorite verse has been psalm 19:14 "May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer. "
What is on your mind normally affects your attitude,what you say, and your overall demeanor. When I am meditating on God's word, I am at peace, my words are softer, and I am generally more positive and a more pleasant person to be around. Things are drastically different when I am not in and meditating on The Word. I am not a fun person to be or be around. I don't have the joy that I can only get from Christ.
Today I was going around in a bad mood and really making the people around me miserable...then I remembered psalm 19:14 said a prayer and I am feeling so much better already! PRAISE GOD!
I love how God works through me to help me become the person He wants me to be! I couldn't do this without Him!
