Praise the Lord Beloved. Happy Monday to you. 😀
Beloved, this morning you’ll find that Matthew 5:44 says “But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.”
Beloved, if you’re going to pursue a larger church/ministry, if you’re going to be a great businessperson, if you’re a great coach, a great parent, a great pastor/leader, Beloved, you have to comprehend that not everyone is going to cheer you on. I’d love to tell you that your family members, friends and co-workers will celebrate you, but that’s not necessarily the case. You see, some people simply can’t handle your success. As you grow and increase, as God pours out His favor on you, someone will get jealous. Someone will start finding fault. Don’t be surprised if a relative try to belittle, discredit or re-direct you.
Beloved, you can’t focus on making everyone around you happy or you’ll start changing and lose sight of what God has placed in your heart.
Remember, your destiny is too great to be distracted by people who are never going to affirm you. But, don’t take it personally. It’s not about you. It’s their problem. Shake it off, run your race, and be great anyway.
Beloved, having greatness in the midst of criticism or disapproval, begins with forgiveness. 😀 Though it may be hard “don’t hold a grudge”. Bless those who curse you; pray for those who spitefully use you. As you keep doing what is right, God will honor you. He’ll promote you, and you’ll be great in the midst of criticism!!!
Have a blessed Monday and week Everyone!!! 😀
