"Drama, Drama, Drama"

Some people seem to feed off of drama! We have all witnessed it one time or the other. You see it from time to time in the church. Someone has hard feelings toward another and they sit on it and seethe. The sin of unforgiving an unforgiving heart grows each passing day. The right opportunity comes along and they unload. Brethren are upset about something and they seem to never be happy unless they can vent on someone. Others have their rights violated (they think) and they demand accountability. It just seems there are those who are not satisfied unless they create or have drama in their lives. Little contentment and always searching. Looking for reasons only to find excuses. Bottom line it is called fleshliness.
People in Christ who are like I just described are hard on the spiritual minded. The spiritual stay concerned about the well being of those in drama, knowing full well you cannot approach them or talk to them about things because it will only create more drama for them! John teaches us, "The one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked." (I John 2:6) Jesus wasn't about drama. He didn't blame people for turning on Him or making excuses for problems that arose. He simply walked with God, set His heart on following God, listening to His word. We need to overcome and not be overcome. We need to allow the Lord to lead us and not allow our feelings and fleshly responses to lead. Follow Jesus with all your heart and you will see the drama cease. He guarantees it written in blood!
