Eye-rolling and other gestures

A friend felt offended by a loved one. When his back was turned, she fingered him. She had no excuses. Because of built up resentment, she reacted quickly and in offensive ways when she became frustrated.

I can't imagine Jesus even doing an eye-roll when He was exasperated. And, there were plenty of opportunities when his disciples indicated only a glimmer of understanding of what he was trying to achieve. ...Not to mention the Pharisees and other legalists who questioned him at every turn.

And, here, we are, created in His image, with anger popping up and displaying unrighteous behavior. Where is that divine spirit within each of us?

It's original sin rearing its ugly head.
It's also not an excuse we can use...
Because of Christ in me, in us, we can do better; we must do better.
Repentance means "change"....

I will feel that Jesus has accomplished something in me, when I no longer react in such a manner. Thank you, Jesus, for not giving up on me.

Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, a well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. Ephesians 4:31-32
