Ginny - 1 John 1:6-7

Good Morning Girlz!!!

S - If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

O - "we lie" when we say we are Christians yet don't show love

A - I have to confess I was a spoiled brat last night. I had a friend call me to tell me some exciting news and long story short I was a little punk. Basically this friend and I use to be very close, but about a year ago my feelings got very hurt and so gradually I have purposely distanced myself. I love her, want what's best for, was genuinly happy for her when she called last night, but like life better when I'm not around her all the time. Because of that feeling of hurt and a very guarded heart towards her now I came across smug on the phone last night. I hate that! The minute we hung up I thought, "why wasn't I nicer." Now don't get me wrong; I wasn't mean or hateful, I just wasn't as "over the top friendly" as I could have been. So I thought alot about this and basically what I came down to is this...regardless of my hurt heart I am to love. Isn't that what practicing the truth is all about? Love.

P - Lord I am sorry for the way I acted last night. Putting hurt feelings to the side is hard sometimes, but I'd rather paint a picture of Your love than let my selfishness prevail. Thank you for the lessons on light You are already showing me. Please continue to teach and mold me, even when it's hard.

  1. Thank you for telling us that. I do that often and it's so selfish of me and I always fell like dirt afterwards. Then I realize what a pathetic picture of live I'm showing!

    Thank you for your prayers!
