Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

The Lesson
February 5, 2013

One summer I was at a gathering of old high school acquaintances when someone behind me tapped me on my shoulder. As my eyes drifted over the woman’s name tag, my mind drifted back in time. I remembered a tightly folded note that had been shoved through the slot on my locker. It had contained cruel words of rejection that had shamed me and crushed my spirit. I remember thinking, Somebody needs to teach you a lesson on how to treat people! Although I felt as if I were reliving my adolescent pain, I mustered up my best fake smile; and insincere words began coming out of my mouth.

We began to converse. A sad story of a difficult upbringing and of an unhappy marriage began to pour out of her. As it did, the words “root of bitterness” from Hebrews 12:15 popped into my head. That’s what I’m feeling, I thought. After all these years, I still had a deep root of bitterness hidden within me, twisting around and strangling my heart.

Then these words came to my mind: “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good” (Rom. 12:21).

We talked. We even shared some tears. Neither of us mentioned the long-ago incident. God taught someone a lesson that afternoon—a lesson of forgiveness and of letting go of bitterness. He taught it to me.

Dear Lord, please help me not to harbor resentment
and bitterness in my heart. Through the power
of the Holy Spirit, enable me to let go of my
bitterness and forgive those who have hurt me.

Revenge imprisons us; forgiveness sets us free.

Read: Romans 12:14-21

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. —Romans 12:21

Bible in a Year:
Exodus 36-38; Matthew 23:1-22

Thanks very much for tonight's Daily Bread, which resonates strongly with me. Over twenty years ago, I had been estranged from my brother for many years. I was with the family one evening for dinner and had car trouble. He offered to help and I blew him off. As I was driving home I was speaking to my wife and I realized I had forgotten why I was so angry with him. I called him on my cell phone and apologized. He was, I think, astounded. We have been in harmony ever since.

"A visit to the Organ Mountains and Aguirre Springs right next door is an absolute must!"

Indeed.

On TDY to WSMR, we hiked a long trail up into the Organs that started at the golf course. There was a long abandoned gold mine complete with crusher, rails and an almost filled in mine entrance. Packed out some neat rocks with tiny gold specks in them. But it was a slog, don't think I could do it now!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Connie, and thank you for the red, white, and blue Tribute To Our Troops.

Hope your Monday was good, and your commute was uneventful. *HUGS*

Above freezing here...icky!
