I was with my dad today and we were talking with with a family that he was home teaching. We were talking about a talk called The hesitant missionary, one of the topics that was shared was "Be Full of Grace". In there it states " Unfortunately, it is so easy to be disagreeable. It happens too often that we argue, belittle, and condemn." My dad pointed how how things like this can borrow down into us and it can mess with us for a long time. He likened it to a parasitic wasp that lays eggs in a live caterpillar and they live off the caterpillar until they emerge and by then the wasp as suck out all the life of the caterpillar and then it is not able to go. So it just dies as a caterpillar, You may ask so??? But when we allow things to bug us from what other people do or say, and as we spread things those anger is just like those wasps. The things that bug us may seem little but as we keep thinking about it and keep allowing those things to act on us instead of acting (verse 27) then satan draws out life out of us and if we do not clean ourselves of such things we can spiritually die.
Don't let little things that are really not important, have such a big effect on our lives. In the words of Eric Thomas, "Don't sweat the small stuff."
