We cannot let people get our goats..for one thing people are people..and people change on the drop of a dime…they are constantly doing something..saying something..not doing something to even not saying something..I mean it is a constant..so if we let others get to us and our lives we are gonna live a miserable life..we are not gonna live a happy life whatsoever…because there is always going to be someone not liking you…not talking to you..not including you..and on and on the list it does go..so I always say if you feel yourself getting drawn in by others…take yourself and remove yourself from that situation..don’t get trapped by others and what their doing to what their not doing..because must of the time when others are not liking you or your life…more than likely they may be just a little jealous…but as well more than likely it’s because their not happy in their own lives..because we all know the saying that says normal people don’t go around hurting other people…because hurting people as they say hurt people..once again what’s in you comes out from you…but the more important thing when any of us are dealing with people…or should I say haters so to speak…we have to realize it’s not about what their doing..but it’s all about what were doing…it’s all about how were choosing to respond and deal with the people that hurt us..and are not to nice to us..or whatever it may be…because we as God’s children have to be better…sure we all can be mean..and not so nice if that’s what we so choose to do..but I don’t think that’s what Christ desires for us to do at all…for you see in the word of God it tells us to overcome evil with good..Romans 12:21..but as well in the book of Matthew it tells us this…Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect….Matthew 5:43-48…for you see guys people don’t know what to do when your kind to them..when you choose to love them despite the fact of how their treating you to how their acting..because we cannot get drawn into their unhappiness…because believe me..if we do we are ourselves are going to be completely miserable..and not at all enjoying our lives..and that is not at all good for anyone..but what’s worse is if we let them effect us..well we get miserable..and we bring that misery..into our homes..and in turn our spouses get miserable..and it goes on down to our children being miserable all because were not happy all because of others and what they are doing…we don’t let our circumstances control who we are…we don’t let others and how they feel disturb our homes and our lives..because when you know who you are and you know what you do…why would you care about what they think to how they feel about you..for you know I think we all need to come to realization that not everybody is going to like us…but guess what? that’s okay!..for God says in this world we will have troubles but for us to be of good cheer for He has overcome the world..John 16:33..but as well when we do our parts and live our lives by the word of God and what it says for us to do…then the Lord says He will even cause our enemies to be at peace with us..Proverbs 16:7..so please don’t get distracted by the distractions that others try to bring and put on you and your life…because it is not at all worth it..but rise up guys and do better and be better…shine the light of the Lord…don’t let their hatred and bitterness come and bring havoc in you and or your life and home..so get up and shake yourself off and get busy enjoying this beautiful and awesome that our Lord has blessed us all with!..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
