The Way of Tenderness

Ephesians 4:32 " Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. "

Anger, defensiveness, a pressing need to change others, criticism, frustration at others' blindness, a sense of spiritual superiority, a gnawing hunger of vindication...... yuck - right?  And yet... if you are honest do you see some of these very things in yourself from day today?  I know I do.   

In allowing these things to dictate my life INSTEAD of tenderness and compassion I am alienating myself from my true self as a child of God. 

Lord, we pray this morning for eyes to see, ears to hear and souls moved toward your way of tenderness....always !
