"For God hath not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love and of a sound mind - 2 Timothy 1:7"
I would like to start off with this verse and in the same breath ask, do I have fear of confrontation? The thing is, I can confront a person that is a Christian, my brother or sister, no problem and we can discuss the issue calmly and say sorry and everything is good. I can actually sense the Spirit of Love between us and I feel calm and relaxed to have an open conversation.
But when it comes to a person that gets pleasure out of fighting and rubbing your nose in the dirt after you admit that you made a mistake. People like that can even be mean to my face and I won't say anything, I can't, because I know that they are good in fighting with the mouth and have a strange talent of turning things around as if you are the one to blame for everything. They will almost do anything, say anything to hurt you and cause the situation to spiral out of control. I try to avoid situations like these at ALL times. It causes me tremendous emotional pain and I feel belittled and struck down by that person. It happened once, and I couldn't stop crying for a day. Maybe I'm just too over sensitive, but I made peace with it long ago, that is just how I am. I HATE situations like that and I will do anything to avoid it.
This incident happened at work with one of my colleagues. It's only downhill after that, at times she treats me with no respect, but I can't seem to stand up for myself and say no. I've been talking to Jesus about this problem for how long... It gets better at times, I can really feel strengthened and comforted by Jesus but I just can't seem to address her about how she is treating me.
It really breaks my heart and she is a very unhappy person. She hides it very well, I must say, but one of the gifts Father God gave me is discernment of spirit, I can feel the spirit that is hanging around her, anger, hate, and depression. I do pray for her allot, and I even anointed her office in the name of Jesus Christ and asked whatever is against the will and word of God to go. But like I say, gets better and then it gets worse and then better, like a big rollercoaster.
The one thing I know for certain is, you can never fight fire with fire, you need to use the Love of God... and leave the rest to Him, but its hurts.
Thank you for reading my letter.
