Sometimes, people are not very nice, not very warm, not very receptive of you, but, we are taught NOT to live for people, but, for *GOD*! This is a difficult area of understanding, because, as humans, we NEED acceptance, yet, we must realize that to allow the emotions to rule the being, is placing oneself at risk, for sin, and, a sinful nature, PLUS, our worth is NOT based on others, but, on the good we bring forth, regardless of reception, or, reciprocation!!!Don't you ALLOW others to decide your worth! YOU ARE WORTHY, in many respects, AND, you have been placed on this Earth, at this time, FOR *GOD'S* OWN purpose, that HIS WILL is fulfilled, so, don't sweat it, if you are shunned, shut out, ignored, or, treated unfairly, or, even badly! FORGIVE, and, remain in LOVE! BLESS these people, and, move forward with the FACT that NO ONE, NOT ONE, is any better than another, AND, that *GOD* HAS GREAT REASON for your life! Just as EVERYTHING in this world has purpose, and, a beauty, all it's own, so, DO YOU!!!
The nicest people in the world, are often the least favoured in the world, for many reasons, one of which is, they are not in the race to PROVE themselves, so, they are not as visible, and, they are not vying for attention, or, acclamation, BECAUSE they KNOW their worth! You don't HAVE to be popular to do *GOD'S* WILL; in fact, most of the ones whom have made the most impact in the history of mankind, have been, sort of outcasts, so, if you are one who is NOT running with the pack, you are not alone. Of course, you are not alone, anyway, because *GOD* IS ALWAYS with you!!!
I saw this quote, and, had to share it:
Why do we always IGNORE those that ADORE us, ADORE those that IGNORE us. LOVE those that HURT us and HURT those that LOVE us???Is this REALLY human nature? If so, I would RATHER, stick with my spiritual nature, because in the spirit, I am IN LOVE, and, in LOVE,
1 CORINTHIANS 13:4-8...
4/ Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, (love) is not pompous, it is not inflated,
5/ it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury,
6/ it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth.
7/ It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8/ Love never fails.
In verse 5, there is a KEY to existing: IT DOES NOT BROOD OVER INJURY! One of the most difficult areas to master, yet, we MUST! I am a sensitive soul, so, I KNOW, for SURE, how difficult this is, and, yet, the more injury I incur, the more I am able to understand the reasoning behind it, and, get over it, move forward, and, retain LOVE!!!
Emotionalism, opens up PASSIONS, and, passions ARE that which, lead us to sin! Passion is that which opens up to, ALL negative actions, and, reactions, even, hatred, therefore, we MUST MANAGE our temperaments! As one with *GOD*/CHRIST, we are to LEARN our lessons, and, walk in gentleness, kindness, compassion, understanding, tolerance, patience, and, ALL virtuous behaviours/characteristics, OF a devout person! NOT easy to do, still, for our own good, and, the good of mankind, WE MUST!!!
YOU, better than anyone, KNOW who, and, what you are, and so, how can anyone else belittle what is NOT little? How can anyone determine your worth, when, it is already measured by *GOD*? See what I mean???
BE who, and, what you are, always improving, in the name of LOVE, and, let *GOD* take care of those who oppose you, but, NEVER let them defeat you, nor, destroy you, not in mind, nor, in spirit! Keep on keeping on, and, KNOW that you ARE worthy! The cream ALWAYS rises, though, it might take a while, so, don't turn to curds, before your time!!!
