4 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.
5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, 6 so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 15:4-6
How many of you dealt with someone that was rude this week? How many of you were able to let that rude attitude flow off your shoulders and you came out as the better person? Well, if any of you are like me, depending on how rude the person was determined your own attitude towards them and how you reacted. Boy this attitude thing is hard sometimes, and I sometimes wonder why there are so many of these people that are out there to attempt to make our lives miserable. Or maybe I am looking at it all wrong, yep I am. God puts these people in our lives to show us and them a few things. Number one, they are there to test our attitude and how we react to them. Number two, they are there because God wants us to show them an attitude of Christ's love. And number three, they are there to allow God to be glorified. Maybe we need to focus on our own attitude before we get to that rude person who needs to see our love of Christ. Show some love this week.
