Just Simply Amazing

Wow! God’s amazing! Character Camp has been very challenging for me.

I’ve had to learn a lot of tolerance, which is knowing that everyone is at varying levels of maturity.  I’ve had to hold my tongue when people irritate me.

These past three weeks I can see people changing.  One person was a very annoying and knew very well how to get on my nerves. That day we had been talking about when people irritate you, ask God to help you get along with them.  Well this person was getting on my nerves so just before I blew up I held up my finger and said, “Hang on, just a minute.”  I bowed my head and asked God to help me to let go of whatever he was saying/doing that was getting on my nerves. (I don’t even remember what it wasJ)

When I looked up again I was full of peace. Then he asked, “Did you just pray for God to help you?”  I answered yes. 

“Wait.” Then he bowed his head and asked for God’s help.

“You all good now?” I asked when he looked up.

“Yep! I’m good.”

It was amazing to see that, that one little thing I did influenced him to do the same and to call on God’s help. Remember that people watch how you react to something bad, embarrassing, or maddening.

They annoy you just to see who you really are. And to see if you are, who you really say you are, a Christian.

Remember… Someone is always watching.

Love Him, obey Him, and follow Him in all your ways.
