But Jesus answered, "No more of this!" And He touched the man's ear and healed him. - Luke 22:51
I like how You shut that down right away. With the exclamation point, it almost seems that you mean it.....forever! Like, "This is not the way we handle our problems." "This is not the way we respond to evil." "This is not who we are." And then you fix it.
That's the part that gives me hope. Just like the disciples, there are times when I act out of anger. There are even times that I use force or violence (verbally). There are times when I go against everything that You have taught us. But, You can fix it.
My anger, my lack of wisdom, my shortcomings - they are not the end. You can fix it. The people who I care most about, even when I fail, You can fix it. The situations in which I lose it, You can fix them. The relationships that should be broken, You can fix them. There is nothing that we can do to separate us from the love of Christ. And You can work all things to the good. Thanks for that!
