Love and unkind people
God's greatest commandment Is to love Him with all your heart, soul, and mind. That is His number one commandment. His second commandment is to love your neighbor as yourself. Saying this He wanted us to love ours selfs and everyone around us. I know that it is sometimes hard to love the unkind person next to you in line, at your job or even living next to you. But God wants us to and that is his second comandment. Unkinds words and bad attitudes can be damaging expecially to the people around you. Sometimes when you think you are better than other people, it will show in your manner, your looks, your words and your actions. So consider the way you talk and treat others. I know a few christian people that are not very kind and lie alot. They even think that they are better then everyone, it is sad. They say they are better parents, teachers (working for God), they say they dress better then most because it shows that you are Gods people, some have even hurt their parents by being ashamed of them for reasons, no one knows, (the parents believe in God and do not treat people the way they are being treated) It is very sad. But I know God is in control and he sees all that we do. So even when people act the way they do. You might not like what they are doing but you still need to love them. Give it to God when people hurt you and God will take care of the rest.
Father, help me to let go of all the hurt that plauges my mind, heart and soul that I have experienced from the hands and actions of others. From the teeny tiny wounds to the deepest heartache. Help me to really let go Father so I can live in Your grace every day, Amen.
Matthew 22:37-39 (NKJV)
22:37 Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'
John 3:18 (NKJV)
3:18 My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.
Ephesians 4:2-6 (NKJV)
4:2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love,
3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling;
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Hebrews 10:24-25 (NKJV)
10:24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works,
25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
James 4:16-17 (NKJV)
4:16 But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.
17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
James 3:10 (NKJV)
3:10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.
James 3:13-18 (NKJV)
3:13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom.
14 But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.
15 This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.
16 For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
