Yesterday I was talking with Marcus for about an hour in the Law building. It was after my work, and was just sitting around just chit chatting about life, and Sundays sermon.
I found myself talking something that I shouldn't. I personally found it weird, and didn't realize I said all that until I guess God pointed out to me about it while working today. I felt I had to repent and change my thoughts concerning the matter.
We first talked about Graces, what Grace are we operating in, just kinda threshing out some ideas and thoughts about what our graces were. And then for some strange reason, we started talking about other people, from other urban life's and stuff. And for some reason, without minding my words and thoughts, I started giving opinions that are, I guess one-sided, and without in consideration of their grace in which they operate in.
I wasn't really bad-mouthing per-se, but I wasn't really giving the respect due, like I was talking about how certain individuals, how I can't really hold them in high regard. But then again, its because I haven't worked long enough with them, or have only seen a bad side of them, without taking the view in total.
Strange, because we were just only talking about Grace, and both nodding about how the little lady who bakes cakes for church in the Kingdom of God is on equal standing to the preacher, or the worship leader. And yet, here I was 10 minutes later talking bad about someone. I felt a bit bad afterwards.
I felt the bible verse I read, I feel I must put into practice. To add salt to wounds, I was thinking of going on a "Positive confession Fast". :D
Proverbs 8:6 - Hear! For I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips be right things.
I think I'm going to need this bible verse more, and maybe start meditating on it.
2 Corinthians 10:15 - Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.
Yeah, I need to mind my thoughts and my words. Uh Oh, feel like I'm going to start preaching a flood of a lot of things I've just learned. Hee hee. Better stop here for now.
