So, something happened recently that hurt my feelings. I thought about a facebook status that would reveal the hurt but not those guilty and maybe elicit comments that would encourage me, justify my hurt feelings or keep someone from doing the same thing to someone else. I didn't take it to facebook because (as I have mentioned in blogs before) I am not fond of people who try to send messages via the facebook status. I think it hurts the wrong people and shows some amount of cowardice...and I think I can throw down Scripture to support not airing out grievances via facebook.
BUT that didn't keep me from coming up with the perfect status to express my thoughts and feelings. As I over-analyzed the hurt, the people responsible and then mulled over that perfect phrase, I realized I am guilty of the very thing that hurt my feelings.
Conviction stinks...but without it, we don't grow. We never begin to look more like Christ. If we choose to ignore conviction or never have it, how can we claim to be in a relationship with Jesus? A relationship is a two way street. Conviction is the Spirit walking that street...am I going to take a walk with Him?
