Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends in Christ,
“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34)
Several years ago, after a talk on marriage, a woman commented that her husband had the habit of leaving cabinet doors open. She felt that he was intentionally doing this and he was not respecting her or even trying to correct this bad habit. This is certainly a bad habit, but I have to admit that sometimes I am in such a hurry with so many things on my mind that I too am guilty of this fault. I am not intentionally trying to bother other members of my community, I am simply distracted and although I try to remember, sometimes I forget to shut the cabinet doors.
The devil wants to destroy marriages. He knows how much damage this will do to you and your children. He tries to make these small things seem bigger than they need to be and make you read into intentions that are simply not there. I encourage you to let some of the smaller things go, blow up the grudge box and see these moments as great opportunities to love Christ and offer it up for a good intention!
