We’ve all had someone mistreat us in some way – some more severe than others.
What’s more important than any abuse or mistreatment is the way we allow our minds to think – the way we handle mistreatment in our minds will lodge and grow in our hearts – no matter the heartache, we have a choice.
We can be positive, happy and forgiving, or, we can be bitter, unhappy and unforgiving.
It simply all comes down to “different thinking” – we cannot allow ourselves to be that negative angry unforgiving person who holds on to our bitterness refusing to let it go, for yes, this makes for an ugly heart.
When we focus on being positive and happy – we come to a point where we are able to make conscious decisions, and yes, trust in the fact that God has a good purpose for our lives.
We learn to use our hurt to help others, and yes, we choose to forgive the ones that hurt us – when we do this, a glorious thing happens.
Instead of ugliness growing in our heart – we now have the fruit of the spirit growing in our heart “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self control”
We are loved by love Himself. He loves us big and He loves us strong, and yes – love wins period
