Cause For Venting?
Today is the day after Election Day and I have read through some of the thoughts of Facebook friends on this side or that. It seems everyone is venting - sharing thoughts into words for all to read.
Venting is the expression or release of a strong emotion, energy etc....
Venting those strong emotions affects those around us. It affects the delicate spirit of all who hear or read those strong emotions and it also affects the atmosphere. If your strong emotions need a vent, just like we encourage our children that not all their thoughts need to be said but to think before you speak, us adults need to remember this as well and find a place to commune and meditate with God and remind ourselves of what He says to do when faced with the difficulties of this life. We need to remember to set our minds on things above where Christ sits at the right hand of God. We need to set our minds on things above and not on earthly things because your life is hidden with Christ in God. Fix your eyes on Jesus. Cast all your cares on Him for He cares for you. Let no corrupt communication proceed from you but what is useful to edify and administer grace to the hearers. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life is not of the Father but of the world. The world passes away and the lusts in it, but he who does the will of God abides forever. The fruit of the Spirit is love....joy....peace....long-suffering....gentleness...meekness...temperance...goodness...faith. Walk by the Spirit and you won't fulfill the desires of the flesh.
Let's charge the atmosphere with God's Words of real, positive Life. And leave the venting of strong emotions with Him so that others are not damaged in their tender spirit and in the spiritual atmosphere where your words are very important. Bless and do not curse.
The Bible is your place to refresh and be comforted and reminded that your home is in heaven.
