I Just Don't Care

A good friend posted this verse, Ephesians 4:31 'Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior.'

When is it a good time to say, "I just don't care"? so bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words and slander are not even a temptation and do not take root in my soul? So, I am saying I don't care to keep these characteristics and I am throwing them off. But not caring about keeping them means I have to stop caring about other stuff too. I have to stop caring about revenge. I have to stop caring about how someone is suffering. I have to stop caring about other's actions. Let me explain. (I hope I get my message across well so you can understand it.)

When is it time to say, "I just don't care?"
When I am tired of getting hurt, it is time to say, "I just don't care." When I am finally ready to stop allowing someone else's actions and words to wound me, I say, "I just don't care." I begin to detach myself from the drama and have more peace. When I decide I cannot change how someone will act and I make a decision to stop giving fuel to the fire with worry or comments or gossip, I find peace. I basically say, "I just don't care," and stop dwelling over what I can't change. I start focusing on what I can change about myself. So, I am saying I don't care so someone's negativity does not bind to me. Instead, I want to focus on what God says about me.

When is it time to say, "I just don't care?"
When I need to change, it is time to say, "I just don't care." 
When I finally decide to make a change, I can say I don't care about what I have been holding on to. Sometimes you just growl and decide you are sick and tired of being or doing the same thing all the time. You are ready for different results. March into your day focused on what you want to change and make it happen. You bust through walls you have built to make yourself a better you. You decide you just don't care about the past and it will not define your future.

These are two examples of throwing off the the bitterness, rage and anger that has entangled me so I can get on to being a better me. Can you think of others? When have you finally come to the conclusion that you have to let the bitterness, rage and anger go to be who God wants you to be?
