God told me to write this months ago, but now I finally now what to do with it.
Now imagine yourself in a class or room with the person you hate or dislike. Maybe they're annoying or they're mean to you, but by now you probably picked someone who just stands out among the rest.
Don't miss this. Have you ever been nice to that person? Have you ever even tried? The thing about today is when someone is mean you just think about yourself and decide if they're not nice to you you're not going to be nice back.
But the Bible says in Matthew 5:44, "But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who torment you."
So while we think bad things about the people who annoy or hurt us we're suppose to be loving them and praying for them.
And some of you may think why should I be nice to them? If you are mean back to the people who are mean to you, do you think it's going to change them? No it’s probably not. Plus the bible says in Romans 12:17 "Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody." And it says later in Romans 12:21 "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
Cast away those bad thoughts of the annoying person, but instead show them kindness! Maybe it’s the kindness they NEED, kindness they crave for, but they may not know it. Deep down inside every one of us is a need for love and kindness. Have you ever felt lonely or unappreciated? A simple comment of kindness could make someone's day, whenever it's your enemy or your best friend.
In Matthew 22:39 it says "Love your neighbor as yourself." Treat others how you want to be treated. If someone's annoying you don't, be mean back because you are not treating them like yourself. If you love your neighbor whoever it is; an enemy, friend, or maybe a person you don't hang around with at school, you could make their day. YOU could make the day worthwhile. If you have ever had a bad day and someone said something that changed it, you know how that feels. I know I've felt it. So spread that kindness to people around you! Give people the kindness they need to keep going, to keep hanging on.
And have you ever thought that maybe you are the person people thought about at the beginning? If you are, treat others how you would like to be treated and maybe you will get that kindness you want so badly, but don't know about.
Now being kind doesn't mean you can't still have fun. Have fun while being kind! I mean seriously I can't name all the numerous times I've heard people call each other rude names for silly reasons that don't matter at all and that isn’t being kind. Those names may be beating up people deep down.
For once let's walk into the halls and show our fellow school mates, work mates, or our family that people care about them and love them. Even if it's someone you hate they may need this more than you ever know, or maybe you do know.
Unending Love
