Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

     When the other person has done something irresponsible,
the Word of God presents the standard for your behavior - to be like
Him!
     It does not matter how serious the offense has been, you may 
not reflect the foolishness or unkindness of another.
     In Christian service, one of the most difficult things is that we
are often the most hurt by other Brothers and Sisters.
     Soldier of the Cross, your behavior must reflect the Lord.
     You have Power.
     You have Guidance.
     You have responsibility.
     You say, "but he. . ."
     It does not matter.  What matters is you and your attitude.
     Go to the Lord in prayer and present yourself in the matter.  He
may lead you to do or say things that are not squishy nice, but they
will not be in retaliation or self preservation.
     They will be words of Life.
