Ephesians 4:30  Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.  31.)  Get rid of every form of  bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every kind of malice.  Be kind and compassionate.


I read this tonight and realized just how much I personally was grieving the holy spirit given to me.   The trial with the professing Christian lady on the other forum was bringing  me to anger,  invoking  me to sin. 

 We are in times where we have to guard our precious spirit of God by not grieving the spirit through these attitudes that come so easily on us...me particularly.   

Again I want to thank all of you involved for opening this site up, a true safe haven,  that we can fellowship and  be in a safe environment discussing God.   

In Christ's love

I am struggling with this myself at the moment!!  Thank you Sister for the perfect timing!  We have been trying to help a homeless family this last week and it turns out that they are not in truth without help at all and they lie about many many things!!  I know the Lord wants me to forgive and not judge...He is in control and working on teaching them...but I must admit my flesh side is trying really hard to be "righteously indignent"  But allowing bitterness to get a foothold is dangerous, and it takes up room in our soul that God longs to fill with goodness an love.  And I don't want to grieve the Holy Spirit ever!!
