Oh, not a good morning. Last night, out of fear and hurt, I said some things to someone I care about that I wish I could take back.
Why do we continue to be exactly what we hate to be to those we love?? And where do we go when we can’t really take it back?
Well, we repent and we move forward, hoping that we will be offered the same Grace by others that Jesus offered to us. I feel terrible that I reacted the way I did. No excuses. No rationalities.
I behaved badly.
But, as I sat on my balcony, watching the sun rise this morning, I felt that familiar ‘hug’ from God… the one that says, ‘It’s OK, Pam… yes, you said some terrible things that you shouldn’t have and I am letting you know, firmly, that it was WRONG!
But I still, and will always, love you.’
Today, I will be thinking about how I let pain and fear dictate how I behave … and I will be praying that, tomorrow, I will treat others as I would have them treat me.
This life is hard. We fall, and stumble, and find ourselves being exactly what we wish we weren’t. But, there is hope…
The Holy Spirit is in me and I hear about it when I falter… and I know I am being molded into what I’m called to be. Step by step. One moment to the next. There is always a tomorrow… and the chance to be as loving to others as I am loved…
Oh, Lord… may I know that. May I be that! May I hate what you hate and may I love like you have loved me!! In Jesus’ Name…
I’m sorry.
I take it back…

We all have done it said things we wish we could take back. Jesus tells us to make it right by asking for forgiveness….
