When you go through hard times in life..and when you are faced with difficult people..one thing I pray you always remember is that it’s not about them, but it’s about you..so with that being said..it’s all about how you are dealing with these unpleasant people that come for a season in your life..to maybe coming and staying for a while in your life..for I honestly believe that sometimes you are placed among people whom do rub ya the wrong way..and whom does things and says things that are not very good to say the least..but I believe that your placed there for growth…for you to consider yourself and how you are reacting to these people..how you are responding to the certain things that they may be doing in your life..because each of us are always being molded and made more and more into the image of Christ…and when all is well in our lives..there is no growth..but when things arise then that’s when the so called true colors of who we are comes shining through..that’s when the fruit of the spirit is being manifested in our lives..Galatians 5:22..for we all know that we overcome evil with good..Romans 12:21..and as well we are to turn the other cheek in our lives..Matthew 5:39..does that mean that we have to be stepped on by others?..most certainly not..we can and we should always speak our minds when it comes to things in life that are not right..but we are to do so from love..all that we do is to be done out from love..for were told to be ye angry but sin not..we are not to let the sun go down upon our wrath..Ephesians 4:26..so with all of this being said..if you are in a place as to where it’s not all fun and games then pray and seek the Lord and His face for guidance…for sometimes we are to choose wisely our battles in which we take on to fight..and sometimes we understand that God is our vindicator..and that God fights our battles..Exodus 14:14..so we can hold our peace..Amen..so the best thing to do is step away from anything and anyone that is causing problems in your life..for we cannot be around bad company and expect it not to corrupt good behavior..because the bible says that bad company corrupts good behavior..1 Corinthians 15:33..and as well the word says that iron sharpens iron so a mans friend will sharpen his countenance..Proverbs 27:17..so choose carefully whom you sit around with and whom you hang around with..and make sure that your in a place as to where your growing in your life..and whatever you do..don’t let others get your goat..I love the saying that says there are over a billion people in this world and your gonna let one get to you..or maybe two..who knows..but either way let God have your problems…let God fight your battles..and let us let go and let us trust that the Lord fixes and works all things together for our good..Romans 8:28..Amen..so we can have a great day..and we can choose to be happy and free..for life is way to short to be any thing else then that…In Jesus’ name, I do askant 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
