I wish this verse was written on everyone's forehead so we could constantly be reminded of God's will for us! Haha. I know that I tend to struggle with these things. I blow things out of proportion by getting angry at people, and not even give them the chance to explain things to me. Sometimes I feel like I should be the one talking instead of listening, and when I do talk, a lot of the time it's without thinking. All of these things come down to being selfish.
God is telling us these things for our benefit! Every time I'm quick to anger, it makes things completely worse. When I don't listen to those around me, I'm losing their trust, and not being the good friend that I should be to them. And when I speak without thinking, I can say things I don't mean, and also make situations worse.
God wants the very best for us, and wants us to do these things so that we can rely on Him, not ourselves. We should put everything in His hands, and let him take care of everything, instead of us messing it up!
Have a wonderful week girls!

Your bold-faced clause was our sermon this past Sunday (one of the reasons God demands us to be holy is because he knows that it is good for us!) God wants the best. Good thing to remember
