Have you ever had a circumstance where you have said something or done something you regret ?
I have.
I wrote a comment about another manager to my immediate manager disparaging his ability to lead. ( this was poor on my behalf & regrettable)
Whether it was the truth or not does not matter.
True to how the Lord operates with his children, it came back to me the very next day. – so I may be corrected.
Unbeknown to me the private conversation I thought I was having with my manager was being tracked , traced & logged.
This brings up all sorts of privacy issues alone, but it doesn’t at all negate what I said in the first place.
As a believer in Christ I deeply regret this & the weight of the Holy Spirit has been great on me.
Jesus said “Love one another as I have loved you”I failed to do this….
I wrote an apology to the affected manager.I apologised to my Manager for tangling him up in this mess.
I feel I have let everyone down, most of all my Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ.
What have I learnt from this ?
Reading 1 Corinthians 15 Apostle Paul remarked that in his Pride for the brethren who love & believe in Christ , he “dies to self daily”
I assure you, believers, by the pride which I have in you in [your union with] Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily [I face death and die to self]. — 1Co 15:31
He faces all his emotional & prideful ways , then subjects them to death , & burial through Christ.
Only after this can these whispers & negativity be cleansed ready for resurrection through Christ.
Whatever we speak , do or think needs to be buried in the name of Jesus.
It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in strength; — 1Co 15:43
I have sown dishonour with my Words, I have spoken to the Lord & the affected parties & asked for forgiveness, I pray according to the Lords grace & Mercy this may be used for good & raised in strength. 🙏♥️
Be Holy in All manner of communication.
But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; — 1Pe 1:15
