While attempting to wear the character of Christ, I see that if I'm having a bad day, there are better ways to deal with it than spewing it all over someone. We lose our crediblity as being Christ-like in these types of situations. If I'm having "one of those days" I usually politely advise people to give me a bit of space so I can process whatever I'm going through. Then ... I quickly put on my spiritual armour and let Jesus battle for me. It doesn't always take effect immediately, but I don't hurt people because I'm hurting.
