Persecution - Irving Norman 1950. Oil on canvas. |
As I look around...on the streets, on face book and other social
media I note with a taste of sorrow that people are growing weary of
people. The anger and the hate is wearing us all down I see. Do you
know that hatred and anger are of the devil? Even if you do not believe
in God Almighty, do you know that the prayers you send out feed the deity that
accepts them? Or, the kind of energy you give off expands around you?
So when you act with anger and hatred, you are not only causing it to
grow and fester among your 'enemies', but within yourself as well.
Often times, we look at our lives when we are in a bad situation
and we tell ourselves that we don't deserve to be here. But how often is
that sincerely true? How many Jobs’ walk among us? By every
principal - religious or not - everything comes full circle -- even the long
arm of the law. At any given moment, it is easy to respond to the
negative vibes that others give out with negativity. And while we may feel
vindicated in doing so at the time,
we should take care to know that we will with certainty reap what we sow in the future.
we should take care to know that we will with certainty reap what we sow in the future.
None are perfect--we have all made mistakes. This is why as
human beings we all have challenges to face or demons to fight down. But do you
know that at this very moment, you have the power to decide your fate?
Whatever it is you are faced with, you have the power to turn the tables
in your favor. I don't know anything about everything, and I do not yet know
how to live a life that is full of grace and riches. But
what I do know is that when life knocks you down you have 2 very real choices: You
can stay down--and rant and rage on about how unfair others are to you; blame
someone else for where you are. Or, you can get up and move away from
what it is that knocked you down to begin with. Yes, it's much easier said than
done. But this is why I choose to be where I am now....Letting Go of
Gone.
Some of us may feel like we're on top of the world today, but what
is it that you have done to get there? What have you forgotten to do? How many did you hurt? How many have you
knocked down?
Remember The Golden Rule....
We're all human people, so lets be good to mankind.
