APPLE OF HIS EYE

APPLE OF HIS EYE Zechariah 2:4-13 Devotional:- “...for he who touches you touches the apple or pupil of His eye” (V. 8) AMPL      One of the most honourable and highly protected parts of our body is our eye. It is highly protected because of its importance and delicacy. The eye is the light of the body (Matthew 6:22, Luke 11:34). A man without sight is blocked without light. He will need to learn to see with the inner eye. Because of the importance of the eye, everyone takes time to wash it with all care and caution. When things are coming against it, wise people will always avoid it. When something little enters the eye, we become restless until it is removed. The truth is that you cannot allow anyone to touch your eye. It is a reflex action for you to close it at such times.

BOTTLING OFFENCES

BOTTLING OFFENCES

Matthew 11:1-6
Devotional:- "And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.” (V. 6)

    What has caged the mind of many people from doing well which in turn has affected their lives is the act of bottling offences. Most people do not know that when you can't forgive people they are caging themselves. Unforgiveness is a sin more against oneself. Any time we remember people offend us we experience bitterness of mind and get wounded the more.

Funny enough, the person that offended us may not even sense he has offended anyone and is going about his life freely. But the offended is the one carrying about the sorrow.

John the Baptist was offended but did right to express it to Jesus. But some will not say it. They would rather suppress it and think they’ve forgiven. But you will know you’ve not forgiven when you see the person then you feel more pain. This will eventually lead to being wounded and neglected. Why not call the offender and let him know you are offended like John Baptist did and you will loose yourself from pain.

Prayer: Lord, help me to lose myself from bitterness of heart

“When you speak out, you will release yourself”.
