Now for the subject of Nasty Old Grannies. Little girls don't say, I want to be a nasty person when I grow up. Nastiness happens later in life. A few things that may have changed them may have been insecurity, competitive attitudes and projecting their own fears, envy, jealousy, suspicions, resentments, rage, anxieties, lack of self-esteem and lack of confidence on their victim. They may have been victims themselves.
Yes there are victims of Nasty Old Grannies. These victims continue on with damaging relationships, and feeling ill-equipped in life. Here are the results of not being equipped in life. I quote:
- Feeling tired or exhausted all the time
- Having trouble concentrating or thinking clearly
- Feeling restless or agitated
- Wanting to cry all the time
- Not wanting to be around people or do things they usually enjoy
- Using alcohol or drugs to cope
- Having trouble with everyday tasks
- Experiencing burnout
End quote.
One Nasty Old Granny was jealous of me when I purchased my first house at the age of 20. She had her pet neighborhood children that she wanted to see them achieve things in life. By her going to the same church as I did, I lost some respect for churches in general.
Then there's the Nasty Old Granny that boldly says, keep your ideas to yourself. On a child this leads to, I quote, suppressed emotions, difficulty managing feelings, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, communication problems, and potential issues with social interactions.
When Nasty Old Grannies say the wrong thing that implies that you have done a terrible sin, this is a false accusation. This causes a strain on relationships, isolation from the group and a distrust of others. In a church, the victim silently never returns.
Sometimes Nasty Old Grannies use punishment instead of discipleship with children. These Nasty Old Grannies probably don't know the difference. Punishment can lead to substance abuse, cognitive abilities, violence in adulthood, increase aggression and antisocial behavior. In a church setting, a Nasty Old Granny might make a comment that embarrassed the child. Needless to say, that child never was seen in a church again.
The question is, did Nasty Old Grannies kill the Christian Church while the men were out working on projects, fishing, hunting or sports. The damage has been done. What ever happened to discipleship? Do we know what discipleship is today?
"Discipleship is the process of learning to Love and follow Yahusha and becoming more like Him in our attitudes and actions."
Today the definition of Love has been destroyed. Why use a word that has become meaningless or confused with casual flirting.
Love is patient, love is kind, is not jealous, does not brag, is not puffed up; it does not act unbecomingly, does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered; it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; it bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails, but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Nasty Old Grannies are not patient, not kind, they are jealous, they brag about their social skills, and are puffed up looking down upon the community. Nasty Old Grannies behavior are inappropriate for the meek. Nasty Old Grannies are provoked to put people in their place as if they are God. Nasty Old Grannies fume about how someone did them wrong. Nasty Old Grannies laugh at how someone looked stupid while not understanding the situation.
The question is, what do you do if you need to communicate with a Nasty Old Granny. Sometimes their not old or not female. That is easy. Go back and read the verse again. Why give up on what is right just because a Nasty Old Granny made you angry. Truth is mentioned in the verse. Yahusha Hamashia is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Nobody can get to Yahuah Elohiym without going through Yahusha Hamashia. Live out 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, speak in Truth and follow Yahusha Hamashia called Jesus Christ. Nasty Old Grannies cannot enter Heaven. First they must repent and find the Way, the Truth and the Life. Nasty Old Grannies need to get a Life in Yahusha Hamashia.
