It's strange, how you can be enjoying time with other Christians sharing God's goodness, when out of nowhere, "BLAM!!" The enemy can lob a grenade into the moment and attempt to disrupt or sidetrack what God is doing...attacking mercy, grace and forgiveness.
I experienced that today. What is the grenade? A bad word, sudden and unexpected gossip, giving glory to the devil, discouragement...It doesn't really matter. What's important, is how we as Christian men and women respond. That's what's important. Patience, understanding, joy, motives and character determine a Godly response, damage control and restoration.
We ALL lob a grenade once in a while. Only Christ can help us, restrain us, and prevent us from making this a habit. It's God's hope for us, that eventually, we'll be disarmed by his love for us. Thank God for the love of Christ that dwells in us!
