It really doesn’t matter how people act towards you…but what matters is how you act towards people..we have to remember to do as the word of God says, guys..we can’t walk in our flesh..and we can’t let self get in the way when dealing with others and their actions towards us..so when people begin to do things, act ways and pretty much misbehave towards you…then immediately you do as the word of God says..you overcome evil with good..Romans 12:21..you do not give back to others what they’ve given to you..for the bible says this…You have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That you resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also….Matthew 5:38-40..see we are to be the change in which we ourselves choose to see in this world..for actions speak louder than words…and when we choose to rise up above others and the way they are or they way they act towards us..we are choosing to be a light for the Lord…for we can’t be a very good witness if we are sending out everything that the world is sending towards us..for the scriptures says…Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: we are not to be rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing..for it goes on to say that he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil…1 Peter 3:8-12..for we are to bless them which persecute us: bless, and curse not..Romans 12:14…we are to live peacefully with all men..Romans 12:18..for it goes on to tell us in the book of Hebrews chapter 12 and verses 14-17 it says for us to follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears..so understand that in guarding who you are..and what you are and what you choose to be for Jesus..is what matters..it’s not about them..but it’s about you..and how you are dealing with these people..for people are always doing things…saying things..being ways..and if we don’t change the way we deal with it…then we ourselves remain the same..for just know that as you do overcome evil with good..God says that you heap coals of fire upon their heads..Romans 12:20..so be that bright and shining light for the Lord…always choose to be what the Lord would have for you to be..don’t get involved in strife..drama…or any confusion with anyone..for our God is not the God of confusion…but He is the God of peace..1 Corinthians 14:33..so let us live in peace always and forever guys..looking to Jesus who is the author and the finisher of our faith..Hebrews 12:2…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
