1 Corinthians 13 v 5 Love...is not irritable...
Oh man, just when I think I have a grasp of Love, just one word raises the bar again...'cos I have been known to be a bit irritable...and what takes me there?
I get irritated when things are not done how I want them to be, and I get irritated at my own shortcomings, near misses, failures...but this speaks to a heart attitude of being irritable...what I do with my irritation? Allow it to fester, or take root?
Am I characterised by being irritable (ie getting easily annoyed)?
1. Recognise it if this is you, 'cos this is not the way of love
2. How important are these things that are annoying us (don't sweat the small stuff)
3. Consider that maybe this person or situation is in my life for me to learn from...to develop my character...so talk to God about that, about our heart attitude, confess and ask Him to change our hearts
