I received a lot from the Matters of the heart teaching last week with Pastor Adonica. I received so much from that class. It really helped me put my heart in check. I have been dealing with so much emotionally and Pastor Adonica’s teaching helped me realize that although I have been keeping God’s word in my heart and applying it to my life in most areas. I had neglected to mature in some areas of my heart that don’t come up as often but it will come out when I am faced with a certain situations. For example, I don’t get offended quickly by most people but if it’s someone close to me, I do. I have to realize that the offense is not the other person’s problem but it’s mine. It is a pride in me that must be dealt with. I have to get rid of pride and anything else that would allow me to get offended. I do have a tendency to put unrealistic expectation on people and I have to stop putting those expectations on people. I try to treat and deal with people the way I desire to be treated and that is with kindness. I have to always remind myself that people are people and they are not perfect and just as God deals with me with patience, mercy and grace. I have to learn to give the same grace to others. I have to get to the root of my heart issue and get totally purged by God’s word. I don’t know how this has rooted in my heart but now I am on a mission to mature in the word of God in this area. I have to give grace to others just as I have been given grace. So for now, my hearts cry is that the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart would be acceptable in His sight. I will no longer live with expectation of others. The only expectation that I have now is from God and I know that He is God and that He will never forsake me.
