“It’s easy be good to them that are good to you!”

I know that daily we all face things and go through things..we get treated poorly by them ones in whom we never thought would ever treat us badly or ever treat us poorly…by them ones that we thought would always have our backs in life..because they were so close to us..so yes through out life we will be talked about..we will be ridiculed…we will be put down…we will be hated on…disrespected…manipulated…deceived..and on and on the list it does go..but I do know what the word of God says..and what it tells us to do when others do these things towards us..and I know for us it’s hard..because of our flesh and in of ourselves we want to get them back..anyway we can..we want too tell all about who they are and everything that they’ve done in their lives..for we all know that none of us are perfect in life…but for some they use that as an excuse to hurt others..or to act out selfishly for their own benefit..for this is what the word of God says to us..Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye 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 cloke also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away…Matthew 5:38-42…in other words we are to go above and beyond when dealing with people such as this..for it says..Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God…Mathew 5:9..for as well it goes on to say unto us that it’s easy to do good to them that do good to us..but the bible says what reward do we have if we only do good to them that do good to us..for it says even the Pharsiees do the same..Matthew 5:45-46..it as well goes on to says that If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good…Romans 12:18-21..for guys when we know who we are and we know what we do to what we don’t do in our lives and in the person that we ourlseves are..when others do go around talking about us..not wanting to be around us..and hating on us for no reason..as I said spreading rumors and lies about us..we will feel sorry for them..and we will honestly pray for them..for normal and well people does not go around doing such things to others…because I’m gonna say it again hurting people hurt people..when people are not happy with the person they are..or their not happy with their lives and the way that their lives have turned out for them…simply because of the choices that they themselves have made…they do not like anyone else to be happy..or to have and enjoy their good life that their living..so they want to do anything and say anything all because they can’t stand the fact that we are blessed and we are blessed simply by the hand of God and all by the choices and the decisions we ourselves have chosen to make..for mean people doesn’t know what to do to others that are nice to them..when their being so mean and so ugly saying things and doing things that are the furthest things from the truth..for the bible says you will know them by the fruit they bare..Matthew 7:15-20..so pay attention to people’s actions towards you..for actions never lie..and pray for discernment and wisdom in your life..don’t ever let yourself be manipulated and deceived over and over again and again..so stay away from your adversary…don’t mingle with haters..for nothing good will ever come from it..for all you do is keep the pot stirred..because once someone feels whatever way they feel towards you then honestly their not going to change the way they feel about ya..so go where your celebrated in your life..not where your tolerated..go where there’s love and freedom..go where there is joy and happiness..go where God’s presence is..not where the drama and the gossip and all of that hating on one another is taking place..for we never grow in that type of atmosphere..but go where your gonna be lifted up and encouraged in life..for once again iron sharpens iron so a mans friend sharpens his countenance..Proverbs 27:17…so let us pray and let go out seeking them types of people for us and our lives..for I would rather have one or two true blue friends who honesty to goodness loves me rather than have a whole lot of people and so called friends and deal with a lot of mess..for I am getting way to old for all of that nonsense..and as for me..I choose to let it go and I choose to let God..lead me..guide me and direct me in every decision and every choice that I make and choose to make in my life..for I know that it is nothing about me..but it is everyhitng about Him..so I live to please Him..and live to shine my light for Him and Him alone..for the Lord is my everything..and I pray that you as well are living a life that is pleasing to God..for once again it’s all about God guys..everything..so live to please Him..always and forever…In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray..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
