I wanna start by saying nothing about my life is perfect. Many people use my last statement to cover up something they have done. In all actuality, I wish that would help me right now. Unfortunately, I feel as though I am so in the wrong for something I did yesterday. The devil chooses to come at you in different ways. Most of the time he will not come at you the way you expect him too. I have been on my A game trying to make sure I do not fall short of the glory of God, but yesterday I completely lost my mind and went in on someone or a situation rather I should have simply backed down from.
To avoid giving a detailed version, I will simply skip to the chase. I saw a comment posted about me on facebook. If you keep up with my blogs you would know that about two months ago I decided to leave a group that I had been hanging with in order to be obedient to God and what He had set up for my life. Since I left the group, I have heard mean things said about me and rumors started. I have been able to maintain my cool and ignore it. I never make reference to it. Yet, after seeing the comment, I was pushed over the edge. It was posted on facebook for all to see, so I posted a message back to the individual. I knew he was talking about me even though he decided not to use names. But in my comment back, I made it clear how I felt about him. He went on to deny he was talking about me and erased everything he said about me in an attempt to make me look crazy. Things really hit the fan when I read his statement about exploring the option of the muslim faith.
I handled that whole situation wrong. Here I am trying to change my life and be an example and all I did was give in to Satan's attempt to make me look bad. I am embarrassed and have prayed for forgiveness. I tell you all this because you can never give Satan a chance to ruin your witness. I may never be able to correct that situation with that individual. If he was talking about me, it was only words, nothing I couldn't have shrugged off. My words could have been kind and perhaps he would want to explore Christianity instead. I let the comment get the best of me.
Proverbs 25:26 (AMP): Like a muddied fountain and a polluted spring is a righteous man who yields, falls down, and compromises his integrity before the wicked.
This verse tells us that a righteous man who compromises his integrity is like a muddied fountain. Its nasty and useless. I do not want to be useless. I am happy I was able to experience this. I needed to see the era in my ways. In my field, people are going to talk about me in great deal. I need to learn how to just stand up and let God shine through me. Until next time...
