Jesus said, “If someone takes unfair advantage of you, use the occasion to practice the servant life.”
It is okay to be kind without expecting kindness in return. In life, we have to understand that we cannot control how others think, act and feel. We cannot also control 20% of the time the happenings in our life. It is hard to accept these realizations but if you can, life will be more beautiful.
Leave it all to God. You are more than your emotions. You are more than your problems. You are more than who you are now. You are far greater, amazing and nothing is impossible when you and God work together. A powerful master and a brave servant. A beautiful sight to behold. A masterpiece. That is the real you.
But as a servant, what should you do?
“My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass me by. Nevertheless, let it be as You, not I, would have it.” Then, a little while later, he said, “If this cup cannot pass by, but I must drink it, Your will be done!” – Jesus
Suffering is part of the process. We must pray yet accept if it is not given. Always make way for God’s plans. Live life freely. Be really free. Free from pain, free from emotions, free from frustrations. Let go and let God. Our plans doesn’t always work and that’s okay. Not everybody likes us and that’s okay. We can lose people in our life and that’s okay. We can lose our job and that’s okay. Trust that something better is coming. Trust that God’s promises are real and you are going to receive it. Never ask how, where and when. Just trust even if you don’t know. Leave your heart to God.
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. – God
This is the promise of God. He is the only one who doesn’t break His promises. Believe and it is now yours.
Just believe.
