I was just wondering what Jesus felt when people who walked with Jesus, ate with him, laughed with him, and as soon as Jesus was out of sight, they ridiculed him!
Who are we to expect better from these who claim to love us?
Character and virtue to me is what you do or say when the person is out of sight.
Proverbs 23:7 gave me the answer, watch what a person think in his heart, not what he says in your presence.
Renew your thinking. I did. Change your thinking, seek to serve and not to be served.
Romans 12:2 Paraphrased-Change your mindset, seek to please God and allow Him to elevate you in His Kingdom. When men speak evil of you, let them! Stay focused on God and He will keep you in the midst of confusion, evildoers, those who seek to damage your character. You do not speak ill of others, stay true to you.
Deuteronomy 28 paraphrased, the Lord establishes us who live for Him and keep his commandments. God opens doors no man can close, then He closes doors no man can open.
Keep grinding, keep serving, you will be elevated in the presence of those who sought to destroy you.
Let your deeds speak for you.
Thank you Lord for holding me and carrying me to this point in my life.
Wait on God people, Allow Him to be glorified in your life.
Keep grinding!!!
Let no one still your joy,
Scripture: Psalm 37:25
I once was young and now I am old, yet, I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging for bread. NIV
