The Lord has an amazing way of speaking through people, circumstances and pets.
The other day I was playing with my dog loving on her more or less, just petting her and then I hear this.
You treat me nicer than you treat Amari. Amari is my 6-year-old grandson.
I have found myself lately when my grandchildren are visiting that I Resort back to Old Behavior where they’re more like employees than grandchildren. I’m very bossy and maybe in some instances I’m just an ass. That is not who I am or who I desire to be.
Proverbs 12:10 (ESV) 10 Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast,
but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.
You think that you’re doing good and that you are modeling Christ like Behavior until something happens and the old you comes back out.
I read this passage and easily be looked at as the way you treat people. Love your neighbor as yourself love your grandchildren as you love yourself. I could go on.
Colossians 1:9 (ESV) 9 And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
Matthew 6.6
