Gen 16:5

5 And Sarai said to Abram, “May the wrong done to me be on you! I gave my servant to your embrace, and when she saw that she had conceived, she looked on me with contempt. May the Lord judge between you and me!” ESV

-         Hurt people don’t use sound logic. Abram did exactly what Sarai told him to do, yet she was mad about it. I think I need to remember that hurt people lose their logic. I need to remember to speak with a gentle answer. Prov 15:1 a soft answer turns away wrath, defending your case just builds for an argument. God help me to lay down my pride so I can draw people to you. Help me to value others more then myself.
