Pastors's Message Frustration!      Have you ever purchased an item in a town 30+ miles away from home, returned home, and looked at the receipt to find that you were overcharged? Doesn’t that just make you burn? Not only was your money taken, but also your time and gas were used up by the store. So how will we handle situations like that and act like a follower of Jesus Christ?      Some folks would just be mad, let the store manager know that you are angry, and swear not to ever return to that particular store. Others might just stomp back in, get the money back, and stomp out saying as little as possible. This is the kind of situation that brings out the sinful nature’s frustration expressions. We want to act like people who are proud to know Jesus, and yet we still show our sinful natures when we experience frustration.      Life is full of small moments, occasions that break down our holiness, times of frustration about things that don’t amount to much in the great run of God’s eternity. At times like that it is hard to remember a Godly perspective and to keep a Christian attitude. The best we can do is to admit our frustrations, realize that they don’t amount to much in the eternal run of life with Jesus, and be more determined to be kind the next time we face such experiences.      Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.   Ephesians 4:31-32 This message is from an unknown source.
