This is why....

 

This morning has presented yet another um...we'll call it....a test of my patience. :)
People being hateful around the holidays....man...its just so sad, isn't it? I mean being hateful at any point of the year is so crummy, but around the holidays is exceptionally crummy.

So today in my current "challenge" I am holding tight to Matthew 5:14-16. This is why we as followers are to respond well. To love big. To help when people hurt you. To stay consistent. SO THAT.....they might see & Glorify the Father.
Oh Lord, help me respond well...so that....

Matthew 5:14-16

New International Version (NIV)

¹⁴ “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. ¹⁵ Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. ¹⁶ In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
