LOVING THOSE YOU'D RATHER HATE



Martin Luther King Jr quoted ; "Love is the only thing that can turn an enemy into a friend"
In life, you can’t always stop people from hating you, but you don’t have to hate them back. You can’t always make people love you, but you can choose to always love them no matter what. “Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them...” (Matthew 7:12). 
In this fallen world, it isn't always possible to live at peace with everyone. Sometimes despite our best efforts, we’ll just rub people the wrong way. 

Its best to live at peace with everyone. If that doesn't work, make sure that you aren't part of the problem increase. Whenever we try to take vengeance into our own hands, we always mess it up. We either attack the wrong person, we say the wrong thing, or we just end up making things worse. We just want to always get even, but its important to know that God always wants to bring us to a place of repentance and reconciliation. God has a better plan than we do.


"Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,'' says the Lord. Therefore: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
Romans 12:17-21 (NKJV)
Seek no Revenge against those who hurt you, And let God's Love flow!

THE MAGIC OF GENEROSITY

Image
Have you ever imagined how magical Generosity is? Or how satisfying it is to be generous? Generosity has a lot to do with readiness or liberality in giving regardless of how much more or less you have to offer than just giving because you have to. In other words it’s the virtue of not being tied down by concerns about one's possessions. Mahatma Gandhi, One of my favorite writers once said, “Generosity consists not of the sum given, but the manner in which it is bestowed”  You don’t need money or material wealth to be generous as others tend to think. You can be generous with your time, your attention, your opinion, your knowledge and expertise and so many more and no one is going to stop you or disparage you when you live and act with sincere generosity toward others.  Generosity gives you free rein to make a positive and meaningful difference. There are always opportunities to give comfort, encouragement, joy, reassurance, assistance and wisdom. Gen

EXTRA-ORDINARY PROGRESS

Image
Growing up as a little kid, I had never visualized being an extra-ordinary bloke, and this was largely because my entire surrounding thought in the same line about themselves… so there was really less or nothing much for me to look up to. In my mind I was just this ordinary human being meant to live as the world pleased. But in the drive of my life, I have come to comprehend the fact that there is really more to life than just living ordinarily, And to add the salt to the injury, understanding my purpose in life has made it more dangerous (In a better sense), because it has now put me in a position where I can’t even get tempted to think any more like an ordinary chap rather a world changer Albert Einstein, a German-born theoretical physicist once said “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Now that I look at myself differently, there is a lot that has to be done differently to get different results.

LETTING GO

Image
          As life pushes its wheels forward, we occasionally find ourselves making a lot of mistakes. Mistakes that really cost us a lot, right from inside out,        But in due course I have come to learn that when that happens, We should not get drowned in regret or self-pity rather choose to learn everything we can from the error of our ways to make progress. Then commit ourselves to never make the same mistakes again. Everyone makes mistakes, and if you’re going to do anything worthwhile, you’re sure to make some of your own. You cannot entirely avoid making mistakes, yet you certainly can avoid making the same mistake multiple times. So the best thing is to learn to fully forgive yourself for any shortcomings in the past. Then diligently get to work creating a bright and valuable future, starting where you are right now. Don’t allow the past to imprison you or discourage you. Instead, let the opportunities of the present inspire you to take solid, effective action.
