Thinking. Think Daddy was just sitting there, listening to me rant. Then He didn't reply immediately - think the impression I had was that He wanted me to sit down and to think maturely about this.

I remember Yufen sharing with us last time how she handled her frustrations... she would take time to rant to God during her lunch break, and after that, she would take out her Bible and let God speak to her from the Bible.

So did that just now... just carried on reading from where I left off at Proverbs...

Then came across two verses:
"Ears that hear and eyes that see -
the LORD has made them both."

And,
"Do not say, 'I'll pay you back for this wrong!'
Wait for the LORD and He will deliver you."

Oh, felt very encouraged... Think God was assuring me that yes, I'm upset over this brother, but He will give him eyes to see, and ears to hear, in due time.

And just simply wait for the LORD, and He will deliver me in His perfect timing! Like Yufen advised me, "Give him time to grow."

And I realised just now that part of my anger was due to my bitterness and being quick to condemn... also pride was at work here. So must keep watch over my heart... and let the Word of God be my sword and shield against Satan's divisive tactics! aMeN!

Ephesians 4:2-6
Be completely humble and gentle (yes, YA! take note!); be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
