Azure Ray – ‘Make your heart’, is a beautiful song (go here for a listen and possible free download)I don’t think that there is much that inspires me more than nice melodies over a good cavernous rhythm.....(the relevancy is that this was on in the background as I was trying to read Matthew 5:21+). I tried to read from verse 21 to the end of the chapter but got as far as verse 22. There is enough in these two verses of Jesus’ speaking to change the world forever, verse 23 will have to wait to tomorrow.
So this is what it says to me,
Don’t get even, don’t get angry but reconcile yourself to one another. That’s what has got to happen if you want to be reconciled to him, that can above all the others make it right and clean the slate, wiping off all the rubbish that we can shovel on but can’t scrape off.
I get angry with people all the time, I am going to go and pray that God can help me to show love to the people that I want to shout at. Maybe there will come a day when my thought process automatically produces thoughts of love when I think of those that may have frustrated or even wronged me, thinking like that could ceaselessly content my emotions – that would be better than sweet - and i take much comfort in the fact that through God all things are possible.
