Are you for me or against me? Do you ask that question or want to ask someone that question? Sometimes it seems the ones that should be for you are against you. You can tell who is really for you by the way they act when you are going through something. To tell you the truth I respect my enemies who let me know who they are than the ones that pretend to be friendly but are busy talking behind my back. The ones that show their true face from the beginning are easier to forgive.

Do the people close to you make you a better person or do they drive you in the other direction? I know there may be certain people in your life you hate to see coming and they are always bringing up something you don’t want to hear. Maybe this person is a truth teller and you know how we don’t always want to hear the truth. It may seem like they are meddling in your business and need to mind their own but maybe its their business to let you know about yours. You know how we put off issues that should have been dealt with from the beginning. So be very careful before you side step these people, they may tell you something you need to hear. Whenever you listen to anyone, take in what you need to hear and disregard the rest. Now lets get to the part you need to hear. You must first be humble and open to receive and you must know what truth is. In John 14:6 Jesus says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” Since Jesus is the truth where do we start learning of Him. The Bible the Word of God, is where we start. John 1:1 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” You know in this scripture the Word and Jesus are the same. So read and study you will discern what’s true and what’s not. Those of you who know what the truth is and are still not willing to receive from a truth teller, you may have a pride issue and you already know what the Bible says that pride comes before a fall.

Now lets get back to the ones that live with you or close family or friends that don’t. If you let the truth open up your eyes some of these people are not for you. I’m not talking about having an argument every now and then, that’s pretty normal. I’m talking about you feel like these people are choking the life out of you. If you don’t have God in your life you better receive Him because you’re going to need Him, I promise.

My brothers and sisters don’t let anyone drag you down to the point of losing your mind. Mothers I know you love your kids but you have to put them in God’s hands. Let me put it this way, put all your cares in God’s hands. 1 Peter 5:6&7 says, “Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.”

Prayer

Hallelujah Father God we give You the highest praise. We humble ourselves before You asking You to help us deal with the difficult people in our lives. If we are one of the difficult people help us have a closer relationship with You and create a humble spirit in us. Father God we are already counting it done. In Jesus name we pray. Amen
