Sometimes the old melody wants to rear her ugly, unsaved head and lash out at her fellow humans. One person in particular really ticked me off last week(and pretty much every time we see each other) and I had to get control of myself before I exploded in a total moment of un-Christlike behavior. This particular person treated me like a stupid idiot, a good for nothing female. I really wanted to lash out and say a few choice words to him. I did say a word or two to him, but then had to just walk away before I got ugly with him.
Trust me when I say the old melody is really ugly. Ask my husband. He will tell you. See, before I gave my life to Christ I was really mean and angry. Sure, I had my sweet moments, but only if I could get it to work for me :). I definitely had anger issues. That's why satan knows what buttons to push on me.
I thank God every day that He has redeemed me. Saved me from my old melody. She is no longer allowed to rule in my life. She is dead. The new Melody is washed in the blood of the Lamb. White as snow. Forgiven, saved, loved, and regenerated into a being not of this world. So instead of breaking out in cursing this young man, I prayed for him. I pray for him every time I see him, whether he likes it or not. He doesn't know I pray for him. But if he ever asks , I will tell him. See, God loves him just as much as He loves me. One of these days he may just get saved :) Just like I did. Blessings to you all.
