He really does.
He speaks in different ways.
Sometimes it's right from a sermon.
Or maybe from a verse he brings back to your mind at just the right moment.
Or even from a sweet friend who speaks Truth and encouragement to you.
He speaks.
Recently I was really mad at someone. This person had said something hurtful to me a few months ago. I tried to get over, but not very hard. Then the same person did it again a couple of weeks ago. I was mad again. This time I was even madder and it was not only about the most recent offense, but about the first one as well. The night it happened I had a hard time falling asleep. I ended up praying and asking God to speak to me. This is what He gave me.
"Love keeps no record of wrongs"
Right out of His word from 1 Corinthians 13:5. And He wasn't yelling it at me or trying to make me feel guilty. It was a gentle reminder of a truth that I needed to embrace. To let go of those things that anger me and to love this person. Not saying this is going to be easy, but I need to try.
And it inspired me to make a reminder to hang on my wall and to read everyday.
