Sometimes.It’s….

Sometimes it is the hardest thing to bend your knee and not your elbow, trying to escape unkind words and remarks made about you as a person, but tonight I will bend my knees and pray for the people who really say hurtful things because they are hurting people.

I have had a great life, I’ve found the love of my life, I have wonderful/beautiful children who respect their Lord and though not perfect, I love them so much. I’ve had a great childhood, with parents who have loved and cherished me. I have a loving home and more friends than I could have ever wished for.

Sometimes it is the easiest thing to bend your knee and not your elbow, trying to remember kind words and remarks made about you as a person, but tonight I will bend my knees and pray for the people who really say hurtful things because they are hurting people.

How do you deal with the doubt and hatefulness others project upon you? You ask is it true what they say… And if yes, you change and if no, you continue without retaliation. You pray for the offender without being reactionary, you welcome them back when/if they return without recounting their offenses.

Sometimes it is the hardest thing to bend your knee and not your elbow, trying to escape unkind words and remarks made about you as a person, but tonight I will bend my knees and pray for the people who really say hurtful things because they are hurting people.

After you bend your knee, Lord Jesus Christ will bless you with his grace. Stand tall with a clear mind and a loving heart, run towards your God given dreams. Don’t cry but rejoice, for the days are short here on earth, but you will enjoy eternity in the glorious kingdom of Heaven.

Sometimes it’s hard to bend your knee, but it should never be…
