Yesterday was a bummer of a day. It started out great, then people got mad and upset, said things they shouldn't have, I didn't handle things well (should have said something instead of feeling wounded), found out I couldn't trust someone, didn't get the chance to tell some people how proud I was of them before they left the occasion. Oh, there were a few highlights, my granddaughter's love for the gifts we gave her, the honors my students' accumulated, my husband who is always there for me and the very honest conversation he and I had yesterday.
What to do today about the sadness and regret I feel? What went wrong yesterday? I go to Hebrews 12:1-2.
1Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Yes! I am throwing off the entanglements if this world and starting new today knowing that Christ died for all my sins. The tings that go wrong because of my sins and others', I can get through knowing I am still righteous in God's eyes through Christ...and so are all the other Christians out there whether they had a bad day, a good day, or were the cause of either one for someone else!
For I am convinced that neither death nor life
nor angels nor demons
nor present nor future
nor any powers
nor height nor death
nor anything else in all creation
will separate us from the love of God
which is found through Jesus Christ our Lord!
Romans 8:38
Amen to that!
