“I urge you to consider that your season of bitterness and anger - that period during which you took the bait of offence and found yourself trapped and poisoned of soul - left an imprint that you still need to address. You are like the ten lepers (from Luke 17:11-19) who experiences a cleansing of the surface. You are experiencing much the same. As you forgive, you are allowing God to clean up the mess and start making your life right again. The demonic taunts are coming to an end. Peace is returning. Perhaps relationships are even being restored, and your faith is rising. On the wings of forgiveness your life is being returned to you, and this is no small thing.”

Healing is no small thing.

I ask God to remove all bitterness and envy from within me. I ask God to allow my happiness for people to be pure and genuine. I ask God to cleanse me from all feelings that are in even the slightest tainted with pride and jealousy because it is these feelings that make the heart rotten and a rotten heart is too heavy for me to carry. Dear God, purify me.

Daily Bible Verse; October 22, 2013

At once [Saul] began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God. All those who heard him were astonished and asked, “Isn’t he the man who raised havoc in Jerusalem among those who call on this name? And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?” Yet Saul grew more and more powerful and baffled the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Messiah. (Acts 9:20-22)

“The Bible does not assume that true believers will have no anxieties. It tells us how to fight when they strike.”

I got up early one rainy morning and watched the high tides come in. It was such a raw and powerful force.

“Evangelism is not persuading people to make a decision; it is not proving that God exists, or making out a good case for the truth of Christianity; it is not inviting someone to a meeting; it is not exposing the contemporary dilemma, or arousing interest in Christianity; it is not wearing a badge saying ‘Jesus Saves’! Some of these things may be right and good in their place, but none of them should be confused with evangelism. To evangelize is to declare on the authority of God what he has done to save sinners, to warn men of their lost condition, to direct them to repent, and to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.” ― Mark Dever, The Gospel and Personal Evangelism
