So tonight, a thought entered my head.

While I was at work, a string of events happened that led to me being pretty upset and aggrivated. In the midst of all of this, I was joking with a co-worker/friend, and one of the other employees, who stays around the place most of the time, regardless, actually spoke out against my joking, which really got me more upset.

Later, I was thinking about who was in the wrong in that situation.

I still lack an answer, but my imperfection wanted me to hold a grudge against this fellow employee for making me feel guilty about something I didn't feel I needed to feel guilty about.

But basically, what are the spiritual implications of this? Did I do something wrong, in my joke that both myself and the person receiving the joke laughed at?

Regardless, I still lack an answer to this.

Also regardless, the Lord works in us. No matter how angry or depressed or aggrivated I get, God brings something into the equation that will negate it all, and bring me back to Him and to joy. Tonight was no exception, with the friends that were around, and the unusually good timing we had finishing up at work, I was back in top spirits by the time everything was said and done. No fault of my own, to say the least.

Who among us truly thinks we can outwill God? Do we think that in all of our "vast" intellect, that we have surpassed our God, our creator of infinite will and wisdom?
