Filled with Disappointment and Anger

My mind this morning was filled with feelings of disappointment, anger, frustration, toward myself and others.

Last night my son and I were reading the Chronicals of Narnia. We were in Book 1. This book tells the story of the creation of Narnia. The point is that people of the story are so captivated with the creation that they stand in awe and almost forget of their past circumstances.

Why do I linger, and let my mind dwell upon the wrongs that I have done and the wrongs that other have done to me?

The one thing that I hope for is the day that these thoughts are a distant past, a vapor of a memory–all replaced with the awe of God himself.

While I dwell on earth–I would love God, Love others and feel a great debt to both God and man.

Phil 1:9-11

So much better to dwell in the fruit of the spirit (Gal 5:22; Love, Joy, Peace, Long Suffering, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control) and apply these things as to how God acts toward me and how I should act toward God and man.
