Oooh – He always makes me upset
Have you ever come a cross people that are annoying, upsetting and irritating?
How about those that seem to be agents that are sent into your life to just annoy you and upset you,
and when ever you try to get rid of them you still find yourself running into these kinds of people that are just out there looking for ways and tricks on how to keep you upset and irritated?
The scripture in Genesis 1:27 says; So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
You see the things that you find annoying and irritating in other people could also be the reflection of the same weaknesses that you yourself need to correct and develop into your own life,
because when ever you are being confronted by irritating people, this also means that some where some how, in the depth of your inner conscious you had taken a decision unknowingly,
or it could be that your parents or your great, great grand parents had weaknesses, and areas in their lives that they had a chance to develop, educate and surrender to God,
but instead they chose to ignore and run away from their responsibility of dealing with them,
So now, you happen to be confronted by images (characteristics of people) that are reflecting your inner emotions that are crying out for change, and every step you take in your life you seem to be meeting people that are not acting according to the expectations of your desires, Why?
That’s why the scripture says in Matthew 6:14-15, Luke 11:4, Matthew 5:44-45 & Romans 12:14, that forgive those who do wrong to you, and do good to those that speak evil of you, and also bless your enemies,
because in so doing you will take a spiritual responsibility that will help you deal with your own weaknesses in your life, but also this approach of mercy towards your circumstances will move God’s hand yon your behalf to transform those areas in your life that are not complete.
One of my young daughters once asked me; But Daddy! Why do you some times fast and pray to God asking forgiveness, when you have not done any thing wrong towards God?
And I answered her and said; when I pray I always say; father forgive us, even if its not me who has physically sinned against God, because when I see with my eyes someone breaking God laws ignorantly,
this also means that we all need more of God’s mercy and grace, that’s why I say in my prayers; God forgive us;
Remember that all human beings originate from Adam and Eve’s DNA , so when we condemn others that are doing wrong that also means that we have condemned ourselves,
but when we act in mercy towards them, this also means that the same mercy will be bestowed upon us from God.
