A Problem with Ourselves?
Scripture:
Jesus said to Saul, "It is hard for you to kick against the pricks". (the pricks goads or prongs which were on the
harness of the oxen to keep them under control, to make the useful) (Acts 9:5, 26:14)
Reflection:
A lot of us seem to be constantly, "kicking against the pricks". We find ourselves always unhappy and fighting
with others when in reality our quarrel is not so much with others but with ourselves. The resentment we have towards
others is actually our own resentment of ourselves. GOD DOES NOT WANT THIS! He certainly does not want
us to be in rebellion against life and our own hurts and wrongs. Jesus wants us to stop and yield our resentments,
and our very will to Him. He wants us to live our lives with gentleness and patience. Then we will be happy with
ourselves and others. And in the end ourselves, along with others, will be drawn to Jesus Christ.
Prayer:
Oh Jesus heal the turmoil in my life. Give me the wisdom and strength to be happy with myself and others.
Grant me gentleness and patience in my life. Let You be seen through me. THANK YOU GOD FOR BEING
GOD! in Jesus Name Amen............
