Some things that have been on my heart

So, lately (for the last week or so), there has been a Bible verse at the forefront of my brain and on the tip of my tongue nearly 24/7. Proverbs 15:1 "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."

It seems to be that God is just reminding me that, even when I become frustrated and upset, it's best to be slow to speak and quick to listen. Not only that, I've witnessed a few people deliberately trying to hurt myself or someone else with their words and been able to calmly handle the situations without any angst.

Also, there's a song that's been playing on the "shuffle" function of my iPod several times over the last 9 days or so. "Love Them Like Jesus," by the Casting Crowns. Sometimes, I'm faced with situations where one of the teen girls from church comes to me seeking advice and wisdom, and all I can think to say is to pray. I'm learning that God doesn't require me to have all the answers, as the song goes, and that if I just love people, things will be alright. Loving people like Jesus is what we're commanded to do.

Just wanted to share that. :)
