Man, God has been puting a lot on my heart. Let's see, i have a coworker who can be a huge jerk and very self centered. I have really been trying hard to do the whole " pray for your enemy" and not to repay evil with evil, but with good" but man it really gets hard some days to not respond back with my own snip back at hers. The office basically just won't fire her cause it's too much of a pain to hire and train someone else. More and more i tried to be nice, but when someone makes you out to be a "jerk" no matter what you do, you begin to lose a little hope that anything will change.
This last week though i prayed that i really would NOT give up on this and that love would prevail!! i was nice to her and all the other coworkers and went out of my way to do extra nice things to "love them as myself" and it has worked! I know she'll still be a jerk till her character changes, but things have been better i think, but hopefully as times goes on i can keep rubbing off on her....so that's whats been on my mind everytime i go to work. In other words , summary: LOVE NEEDS TO BE PROACTIVE!
Truth, lol
