Father after reading your words this morning I looked at me.
I asked myself how an I known. Am i known as someone who lives peaceably with all men?
Am I an individual who looks for and speaks gracefully to all amen?
Am I a war monger – God forbid. Taking the high road is not always easy but it is necessary.
Please give me a graceful spirit even when attacked, maligned, or otherwise.
I must remember that when people look at me they see you, because they know that I am a Christian!
AMEN!!

To me, there’s sadness knowing I’ve desecrated the Lord’s good name by being rude, or using words that defame Him. I do find much hope knowing when I give in to sin, the Lord’s forgiven me. It’s not that I purpose to sin and then ask forgiveness. It’s that sin happens and I repent.
I pray for others, including those closest to me, to see me as the Lord’s woman whose life remains fully and completely in Him.
So, I agree with you Joyce.
