There are times when life is not fun. I work part time at an outdoor store for a number of reasons. Today I had two customers that were rude, demanding, and – frankly I am at loss for words to describe their behavior.
It will do no good to describe what happened – I would rather focus on my internal struggle. I wanted to strangle them – I didn’t. I prayed. Probably a better choice.
I asked the Lord to please let me treat them with the respect and image bearer of Christ deserved even if they did not act like it. It was a battle.
I have shared that I don’t like Philippians 2:3 – 4 very much. I really didn’t like it this afternoon. But if I am serious about being an apprentice of Christ, I have to apply that passage I don’t like very much when dealing with people who are acting like jerks.
This Christian Life thing is really a lot of fun sometimes…
