Humble Pie

Tonight someone I really love did something incredibly stupid--something that would cause me some headaches and cost me some money--big money. I reacted. Detatchment and trust was not the response I gave, and I just decided to let the enemy roll on over me, blurting out things in my anger that I would regret later. So, I went for a drive, got some perspective, and got really convicted. I could hear you Lord, talking to me, giving me the business about my behavior, showing me what my love felt when I was being so belligerent. So, biting off a big piece of humble pie (which doesn't taste very good by the way) I went home to apologize. It was not easy, but you showed me that even though the mistake made could cost me dearly, that you are able to provide for it's repair and more. So, I repented and told my dear one that I'd been an ass, shared what the Lord had shown me about myself, and that my behavior was uncalled for. I told my love that God had revealed that I had the right to be mad, but not to be an ass about it. The reconciliation that happened was exquisitely sweet, and things ended up costing next to nothing to repair the mistake--also the Lord made it happen quickly so I didn't suffer any inconvenience at all...go figure. Do you know, that the Lord worked it so that the price paid was very minimal? I wonder if it would've been non-existent, had I trusted him to begin with? Hummmmm...*scratching head*. Maybe not, but it's worth taking a leap of faith next time to see. Lord, help me to get it, that you are able despite our failings. You are worthy to be praised.
