Okay, I have read every challenge so far, but I can’t say that I have conquered every challenge. I can, however, say that I have been strengthened and encouraged all the same.
I work in a very stressful place, but through this “Love Challenge” I have realized that the stress I feel at work is no one’s fault but my own. I let people get under my skin; even when they are not trying to get under my skin.
Because of past misunderstandings I have a tendency to be very suspicious of my coworkers. I am suspicious of their motives every time they ask me a question. I am suspicious that they are trying to take advantage of me in some way or get me in trouble. So, in defense of myself I let my mouth smart off, and it ends up making matters worse.
Well, believe it or not, since this “Love Challenge” began I have been biting my tongue, sitting back, and watching God pour out His blessings. Thank You Lord!
This “Love Challenge” has helped me open my eyes to the fact that I have not been truly loving God’s people the way He wants me to; no matter how irritating they may be at times.
This “Love Challenge” has helped me become more aware of what I’m going to say and make some love adjustments before I actually say it.
This “Love Challenge” has helped me become more aware of my faults instead of always focusing so much on the faults of others.
This “Love Challenge” has helped me become less jealous of what others have that I don’t have and more genuinely excited for the blessings that others do have.
This “Love Challenge” has helped me become more aware of what others need instead of always concentrating so much on what I need.
This “Love Challenge” has helped me become less resentful and more easily forgiving when others offend me.
This “Love Challenge” is very healthy for my soul.
All praise, honor, and glory goes to our Lord.
Okay, that covers challenge 1 through 26 so far for me.
What’s next on the agenda?
Or, hmmm, maybe I shouldn’t ask (?)
