I have just looked at Sandra’s mini sermon from Father’s Day and was reminded of what she said about not taking to heart negative comments made about us if we comprehend how great is His love. And I am reminded of an incident at Union Bible Institute while I was the receptionist there. I thought only I knew how to do things properly.....and it showed up in my getting very cross when things didn’t go my way ☹️ One day the deputy principal was standing behind me (I was at my desk) as I was ‘mouthing off’! Patiently waiting for me to finish to tell me about a task she had for me. Once I finished, I looked at her and said “why do I do that, it’s silly”. She said one word, ‘pride’! For one second my hackles went up and then I realised she was right. And part of my realising it was true, was that Marj is such a gracious woman of God and also, while at UBI, I came to comprehend my Father’s love for me in a new way. I still have my moments when pride rears it’s ugly head but I am quicker to realise it now and hopefully those times will become less and less. 😊
