Are there people who annoy you just by their presence, people who “rile” you up before you even encounter them? Or shamefully, when you hear a bit of bad gossip about that person, does your heart take a little leap? Perhaps a closer look at yourself will reveal a solution. A devotional based on a personal experience and Proverbs 14:30: “A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones,” and Matthew 5:44-45: “But I tell you, love your neighbors and your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rains on the righteous and the unrighteous.”
