Christ’s Death
Christ/Savior/Messiah
When circumstances cause you to react too quickly, without thinking, What is the right thing to do?
If history were to repeat itself, would you do something different or do it the same as before?
Or do you not even have a clue?
We must be focused on doing God’s will.
No matter how you may feel,
Restraint must be used.
Some may refuse.
Never be out of control when doing the work of Jesus Christ.
In being a strong conqueror, remember restraint will become a way of life
You must think with your heart and know what you will do.
Your actions can have consequences, and there is no one to blame but you.
A THOUGHT TO REFLECT ON
Do you see restraint as a weakness that needs the strength to be in control, or is it a strength that will control a weakness?

February 21, 2023 at 3:02 amStella thank you for your blog.
I had an incident today that is fitting for your message. Both parties, me and and a bicyclist, could have instigated a scene when he perceived that my car was too close to him in his bike lane. I believe he feared for his safety. He was very frightened and angry. He followed me to the stoplight to yell at me “ I know you saw me.” I was quick to say “ I’m sorry , forgive me I thought I had plenty of clearance to avoid you.” He immediately stopped yelling, totally calm now, he said okay and went off to continue on about his ride. Angels were in the midst as he and I both had an opportunity to exhibit restraint and grace.

February 21, 2023 at 3:12 amThat was a big Opps. If I was to close to him or if he’d panicked and lost control of his bike today could have been a disaster of life changing proportions. I’m thankful he is safe and so am I. First God said not today devil, then the older bike rider fella was quick to forgive and calm down and all was immediately well. I’d ask God to show me Angels in my midst. I believe He did just that in the moment. God is good.
