Personal Journal- Week 3


             This week I really felt like the scriptures were speaking to me. I got a lot of scriptures that talked about not judging others, and although I like to think I'm a good person, I know that I struggle with my emotions and I get pretty frustrated with people. In doing so I tend to judge harshly and it doesn't leave me feeling happy with myself. I definitely feel like the Lord was telling me to work on that about myself, and that if I do so I will be happier for it. I especially like that scripture 1 Cor. 5:13 that basically says it like it is: if you are judging someone then you are doing it without God in your heart. That was the scripture that hit me the hardest because If I were to be honest with myself I would say that I definitely think I judge people correctly sometimes. However, this scripture makes no mistake in telling me that, no, I am not right in any way.
                I also found that although I was definitely scolded, I was also provided with a lot of comfort this week. especially with 1 Cor 14:10. I have been struggling a lot lately with feeling like I do not have a lot of purpose in what I'm doing with my life and it has really brought me down. however this scripture really helped me cope with these feeling. It gave me the impression that everyone's voice and actions are significant and I can be a significant purpose for good. It was a very nice read this week and I got a lot of personal revelation out of it.
