It is hard to treat others with patience and understanding when things go wrong, it is hard to let go off the past and let forgiveness lead us, it is hard to…
And yet, God tells us : Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these. Mark 12:30-31
Nothing in this life is more important than the ability to love. That is the ultimate truth of the Universe.
If we see every person in our life as a gift from God our attitude will start to change. He makes no mistakes and everything is working in its own perfect order.
Do you believe in that?
No person that we meet is an accident. We learn from each other and impact each other with every word we say and even every gesture we make. We are all connected as we belong to the One who made us all. So, if someone does you wrong, take that as a lesson, but a good lesson that will make you spiritually stronger. Let that nourish you and make you wiser, so that you can experience the fullness of God’s love.
Make a decision today to clean your soul and get rid of all the bitterness or hurt. What is in the past is in the past and will never be returned or changed. So don’t let that bother you any more. Just let it go. What is in the present is in God’s hands, so pray for the problem or conflict you might be having. Make pure intention to forgive the one who is hurting you regardless of his or her response and pray like crazy to resolve that conflict.Let no bad energy enter your mind, and if it does, get rid of it immediately, by reminding yourself of the importance of love! As you let it go, peace and joy will enter you and make you clean.
It takes practice and commitment to learn how to love unconditionally no matter what the circumstances are. Good news is, the gift of love is within us, we just have to unwrap it and receive it gratefully.

Olga, this is all true, each word guide us to the bottom line of what God is, He is Love, and even though for us is so difficult to love like He already did, we can try, keep trying and be truly strong and doing it. That is the answer for a better World.
Thank you for share this.

Thank you Jimena! Yes, we can always try. Every day gives us an opportunity to share love with others, we just have to see it 🙂
I truly believe in all you have said and try to live by this as well as I am able. To hold on to bitterness or hate is a choice and one that hurts us. I am a little tired of being called a sucker or oh you’re just too nice but I am just beginning to smile when someone says this as I know they are not yet in a place where they can understand. ❤
Oh SO TRUE! Always listen to your heart and do the right thing. There is nothing more rewarding 🙂 Others might not understand our motives, but God always does!!! He teaches to love and be compassionate!
I like this verse… wanted to share with you 🙂
1 John 3
See how very much our heavenly Father loves us, for he allows us to be called his children—think of it—and we really are! But since most people don’t know God, naturally they don’t understand that we are his children. 2 Yes, dear friends, we are already God’s children, right now, and we can’t even imagine what it is going to be like later on. But we do know this, that when he comes we will be like him, as a result of seeing him as he really is. 3 And everyone who really believes this will try to stay pure because Christ is pure.
Thank you, I really like this. Whenever I am pressured to “toughen up” and lash back at those who hurt me, I will remember that I am trying to be as pure in heart as I can for Jesus sake. I really is my nature to just feel sad and question why when someone is hateful, personally I believe they must be unhappy and therefore are lashing out. It is not in my nature to want to hurt back, especially when I have had a little time to think about it. Where I have to be strong the most lately is with people including family who tell me to “write people off” and such. I am getting into the habit of asking Jesus to guide my thoughts and actions each morning before I even set about the day which is such a comfort 🙂 Blessings to you for taking the time to think of me and share this. ❤
You are on the right path my friend.
If you would like, I could coach you through out the week to help you keep growing in your faith and stay strong. Let me know.
God bless you 🙂
I would like that, it seems I do need some support, hard to admit but true, I am feeling so overwhelmed with the circumstances in my life right now. God bless you ❤
I would love to support you 🙂
