Always feed what's good:

  • “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows, that he also will reap. For he sowing to his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh. But he sowing to the Spirit will reap life everlasting from the Spirit. But we should not lose heart in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not faint.” (Gal 6.7-9).

Instead of feeding a grudge against someone, sort out your problems. In the end, all will work out well. Even if the person seems to be irreconcilable (Rm 1.31; 2Tm 3.3), allow for the internal conflicts that this person is struggling against. Even though the person doesn’t deserve, abide by what Jesus teaching: “if he trespasses against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turns again to you, saying, I repent, you shall forgive him.” (Luke 17.4).

Let’s call off all our desires and plans, for it is these ones that keep us away from Jesus and the people that He put in our lives for us to love them:

  • “From where do wars and fightings among you come? Is it not from this, from your lusts which war in your members? You desire, and do not have. You murder, and are jealous, and cannot obtain. You fight and war, yet you have not because you ask not. You ask and receive not, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it upon your lusts.” (James 4.3).

Finally, have a wonderful day in Christ Jesus, going over this always:

  • “Be a reflection of what you'd like to receive. If you want love, *be* love. If you want truth, *be* truthful. Once that you give out will always return, seek out that this don’t be only a mood, but something that defines you”.
