As I sat on the floor next to my daughter, yesterday, who sat in the "Check your heart" chair feeling VERY ANGRY... I realized once again what a TREASURE this truth is: " Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. CAST ALL YOUR ANXIETY( CARES) ON HIM BECAUSE HE CARES FOR YOU." 1 Peter 5:6-7 What a privilege to have the opportunity to teach my daughter where to go with her anger. To be able to sit with her and counsel her to get out all the thoughts she is having that are causing her anger to a God that cares is a gift. He cares. He REALLY, REALLY CARES. Then to guide her in listening to HIM and HIS THOUGHTS ON HER SITUATION AND THINKING. How does one get through life in all its difficulties, all the raging emotions and questions, without the belief and knowledge that the One who created us, the One who understands us and knows us better than we know ourselves, and understands the situations or people that are causing us to be angry in all it's entirety, CARES???? He cares . May we ALL sit in our own "check your heart" chairs and get out everything going on in our inner world. After we've gotten 'IT" all out, may we take the time to LISTEN to God and HIS COUNSEL. After all, he is: "wonderful in counsel and magnificent in wisdom." Isaiah 28:29 May we take great delight in knowing that HE CARES. He cares about YOU and HE cares about THEM ( the "them" or whatever it/who it is that is making you angry, etc.....)
