The other day I had read this sentence on one of my friends Facebook pages, and it was kind of worded like this, If your busy trying to get in someone else’s yard, be careful because while your stepping in another’s yard your as well stepping on your own flowers….in other words work on your own self!…because needless to say when you start working on someone else and who they are, somehow you get the big head into thinking that your better than they are…because your judging them by what you think they should be doing..am I not right?…see when we get consumed by someone else and their life..we as well will become either envious or jealous over that person and their life..or we will as well become a self righteous person as to thinking that we are way up the ladder compared to them and their life…and we will end thinking that our own yards so to speak are okay because were comparing our yards to the yards of them other people..if you guys are getting what I’m saying here today..and what happens next is we are the ones in whom are actually only hurting ourselves because we will begin to step on our own flowers that are blossoming and trying to bloom in our own lives…but they’ll end up being choked as the scripture reads all by what were choosing to do..Mark 4:7…because self will consume any of us..and when it consumes us it consumes on the inside and always manifest itself on the outside…and when people let hate, jealousy, and any type of envy spring up in their life, then they only hurt themselves…so understand that your not helping yourself…your not living the way that the Lord desires for you to be living when you do such things as these…for the word of the Lord tells us all to put away lying, and for us to speak truth with our neighbor: for the scripture says that we are members one of another, and we are to not let any unwholesome talk come out of our mouths..but only that which would be edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers..Ephesians 4:25-29…it’s like the same thing with unforgivness…the only person you hurt is yourself…period. not the other person but you and your growth with Christ…so if your needing to talk about anyone…then I pray that you talk about the good they do…I pray that you talk about their strengths other than their weaknesses…and I pray that you lift up and lend a hand if by chance you see that their in need of it..and I pray that you love your neighbor for the word says that we are to love our neighbors as ourselves..Mark 12:31…and by neighbors, I mean everyone, because all are considered to be our neighbors..and I pray that we always guard ourselves from becoming people in whom are bitter, and people in whom are angry, and people in whom are always disgusted about everything so it seems…for we are Gods children and we should be living a joyful, happy filled life…and we should be salt and light for all to see..that when others see us that they would so desire to be closer to Jesus..that they would be hungry and thirsty for the one true and living God..so watch yourself guys…watch your attitude…watch them words that you speak…because we know that death and life are in the power of our tongues and they that love it will eat the fruit thereof..Proverbs 18:21..so don’t hurt yourself and what Gods doing in your life all by the way your acting and all by the way your talking about the lives of others all the while by trying to get in their yards, while you, yourself is doing nothing more then stepping on your beautiful flowers that the Lord has been trying to bloom for you!…In Jesus’ name..I do ask and pray…Amen and Amen…Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
