Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers… (I Peter 4:8, NIV)
So often, people try to make others fit into their mold and be just like them. We think, “If they would just change, then I wouldn’t get upset. If they would just do it the way I want, then they wouldn’t get on my nerves.” But really, we need to give people room to be who God created them to be. Life is too short to spend it trying to fix everybody. Sure, we should encourage people and help them grow and come up higher. But we have to come to the point where we step back and say, “All right, this is who God made them to be, and I’m going to accept them the way they are. Just because they don’t have my same strengths, I’m not going to let that frustrate me.” We have to choose love every day because love covers over our differences and offenses. Love is what allows us to appreciate what others bring into our lives, and it brings us together in unity.
Today, above all, choose love. Choose to focus on the things that make your relationships stronger because in the end, love is all that remains.
This is an article written by Joel,pastor in America!
This article has reminded me so much,
and I just need it now!
There is some long time ago,
Im being offensed by a friend,
I told my mum,some of my friends,
it is giving me peer pressure,
Im living in some kind of nervous tension mood!
I choose to ignore,
ignore back the person!
Walao! How dare am I!
Obviously,this is not the way God wants me to live!
But gratefully,
I get this message!
I love most the two sentences from this passage especially!
Life is too short to spend it to fix everybody.
Love is all that remains.
When we are being treated unfairly,
we sure have negativce mindset rush into our head,
but stay calm,that is not a good voice,
but then,instead of paying back the bad actions or win over argueing,
choose to stay at peace and calm,
this is what I hear today,
this is the way I learn today,
although things happen quite some long time ago,
and love can cover all the mistakes,
just like how God save me,
Love is all that remains in the ending!
So...admit that,Im wrong!
This is time to fix back the relationship!xo!
