Live peaceably with everyone!

Today I want to encourage you all to live peaceably with everyone!

Even if your enemy wants to hold rues against you, on your end of the matter, you stay positive, forgive and go on with your business!

                   If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
                                                            - Romans 12: 18 KJV
I want to encourage you to NOT to hold grudges against your enemies.

Holding grudges adds unnecessary weight to your mind, which could manifest into hate, stress, discomforts, irritation, sadness, anger, etc.



Unforgiveness only hurts YOU and not the person you’re mad at.

Think of a time when you were mad at a person for something they’ve done to you last week, doesn’t it make you mad when you see them happy and carrying on with their life while you hold onto anger and hate. They could care less about what happened last week, but here you are holding on to unnecessary weight and baggage. LET IT GO AND BE FREE!!!!

Forgive others and lighten up your life.

Release unnecessary baggage from your mind and you heart.

Live a life free from mess and drama.

The Lord said we can throw our baggage up to Him and He will take our burden for us.
He doesn’t want us to be weighed down by the cares of this world. He wants us not to bear any unnecessary burden. The Lord loves and Cares for us ALL!

                           Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
                                                                        -1 Peter 5:7

Forgive others so that God my forgive you of your mess, drama and sins.

Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
                                                                        - Colossians 3:13

Before you give your offerings to the Lord, before you worship the Lord, before you sing praises to Him, make sure you’re in right standing with all people, even your enemies. If you have something against someone, you need to go make it right before you can present you praise, worship and offering to the Lord.  Holding on to unforiveness blocks you from reaching the fullness of praise, worship to the Lord.

And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.
                                                                                 -  Mark 11:25

It’s easy to do good to those who do good to you, and I know it’s a hard to love and do good to your enemies. Remember God honors and reward you for the love you show others.

For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.

 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.

 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.

 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

                                                                            -          Luke 6:32-36

We are children and disciples of God. We don’t have to verbalize who we are. All we need to do is show genuine love and we will be recognized for who you are and whose you are.

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
                                                                              -          John 13:34-35


Stay encouraged! And continue to show love!!!
I love you all!
