Read moreThe other thing is that making friends when we’re younger, while maybe not always easy, was somewhat of a necessity. From the time we’re in kindergarten to when we graduate college, friendship-making is such an important part of our social and personal development, it’s almost not even optional.

Read moreShovel Writings: Forgiveness Response:
“Your emotions are letting you know that you are viewing yourself and/or others by your yardstick … while the gospel declares that your yardstick is the thing you have been saved from … he snapped it into little bitty pieces. Chances are that if the emotions are hanging on after seeing the situation in the reality of Christ that those emotions are being stirred up by something else. I have often discovered that my hateful feelings were not really about the person who said something derogatory to me, but in the simple fact that I had been damning myself in that particular thing for years! Once I got past the bogus notion that SOMEBODY ELSE was to blame for my feelings of inferiority I was able to see the obvious fact that my anger was toward myself! But I had for the longest time transferred the blame, and therefore, the corresponding feelings to another. And so I tried and tried in vain to forgive them (or even to see them in Christ) … and I wondered why I felt these things toward them.
And, in this, I am once again presented with the reality of life vs. death. My Father has given me something tangible to behold and to declare that THIS TOO has been removed by Christ! This is His Spirit witnessing with my spirit and it is saturated with life.”
This is an excellent point about the real source of anger towards others. I pray we stop measuring one another and ourselves.

“ Now, was Paul
teaching us to learn to distinguish the feelings of the Spirit from the
feelings of the world? Was he then asking us to trust those
feelings of peace we get from the Spirit? Is this what it means
to be ”led by the Spirit“? It may be the popular teaching, but if
Paul TAUGHT it where did he WRITE it? I read his letters and I
see someone who would never establish a practice of making
decisions based on a relative sense of ”peace“. Instead, he
constantly insisted on basing all things on what Christ had ALREADY
accomplished. ”
This is an excellent article clearly stating that God is leading through His Spirit 24/7. (ROM 8:14) This is a great article for married couples who sometimes have difficulty completely trusting their spouse is in “God’s will.”
