One of the greatest messages I think we received from Jesus is to love one another. At times it can be very difficult to follow this rule. I know I struggle with this one a lot. For the most part, I get along with a lot of different types of people. However, there are times when a few cross my path and don’t set well with me at all. In the back of my mind, I remember that I must be a example of Christ and show grace to my fellow person and love them too. Even, when they try to ruin my career with false lies. Yes, I do fall in the trap of wanting to talk about the situation to everyone and bad mouth the person who is causing harm, but I know that is not what Christ would do, Christ would show that person love. I also have to remember that it is not my place to replace evil with evil. There is a part in the bible where it states in Romans 12:19-21 “Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord. To the contrary, if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” I am truly still working on this one myself, don't feel alone if you think you are the only one going through this. I am here too. If you would like for me to pray for you, please send me a e-mail and I will be happy to always pray for and with you.
