not know what this is all about.
I thank God for peace in the midst of disappointment. Driving home last night I was thinking about how I was almost going to let something that someone failed to do ruin my entire night until God stepped in and reminded me, “No, you’re dead to that type of stuff.” Just let it go—was what I heard. And as I began to just yield to that in my spirit there was a thankfulness that was rising up in me just from the simple fact that I could yield my fleshly emotions, yield having my way, yield feeling how I felt I deserved to feel in that moment, and not let any of that control me. That is such an empowering feeling! When we can come to the point where it becomes second nature on a consistent basis to rise above negative emotions, we will find consistent peace beyond our imagination. No, this is not a matter of “pretending” that negative things do not bother us, it is a matter of experiencing true spiritual growth through oneness with Christ.
