After last friday’s talk with a colleague it left me in a daze of discouraging thoughts and introspection. I know the average person doesn’t respond to logic and that they respond more to love.
Communicating that concern and love is not easy for me sometimes and most times I pound someone with logic and forget to leave some space to communicate concern or fail to have already communicated it through daily living. This is applying the truth in love.
I was pretty encouraged today that we happened to leave work together again today and I was already wondering if he would try to avoid me even after I told him I was sorry in the morning. He didn’t! In fact after a bus ride to the mrt he brought up the unpleasant conversation and told me the same topic came up in cell group and the spirit worked in him to make some resolutions.
Haha.. So that it all turned out nicely is quite a blessing to me. I hope that if you feel like you messed up and did a stupid, remember God still uses broken things. If you realize your error, break your will and pride, God can and will most certainly use the mess you made for his glory.
