Apology Series Part 7: Bless Those...

Play for the Audio Version

I have the perfect example when it comes to the point of my reading. Thank you Lord for making me mindful of it this morning. I am talking about bad drivers and other drivers' reactions to them. So, yeah drivers is what's on my mind.

I for one am no longer considered to be part of the drivers community.
However, I do recall what it is like to be the persoyn on both ends of the stick. Yup, I know what it is like being both the impatient driver who at times may negatively voice her discontented feelings over the particular driver's choice of actions when driving.

Or, perhaps I was considered the bad driver because I did not immediately go when the light turned green. Little do they know, my mind was preoccupied and clouded with thoughts of my deceased grandmother I had just found out about one minute ago.

Or, sorry I just cut you off. I really had to use the bathroom And, I just was trying to make the next light while it was still green.

See, instead of cursing those who hurt us? In this case the so called bad driver? Perhaps, we should just be more understanding?

Give people more the benefit of the doubt. Because, we really do not know the real reason for their odd actions. One day, we may be in that person's shoes.  When then happens?  How are we going to  want to me treated?

Maybe, if we ever find ourselves stuck behind bad drivers? Maybe, we should pray for those people instead of cursing them. What do you think?

James 3:10

From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.

Romans 12:14 

Bless those who persecute you. Don’t curse them; pray that God will bless them.”
