I received this in an mail. "A woman I met yesterday said that each night before going to sleep she prays that tomorrow people will treat her like she treated them today. She said she does this because keeping this prayer in mind during the day has helped her become more patient, understanding and loving towards others over the years since she started."

Whether people will treat us as we treat them, should

not determine how we pray....

but I do understand what this woman is

saying....in other words, in her praying in that manner,

it helped her to become more patient.


When we pray,

God sees and knows our heart, and knows we are all at different

levels of growth in our faith walk and in our prayer life.


But the wonderful thing is ,the more we grow in the Lord,

the more time we want to spend with God ,

and the more God just fills US UP WITH HIS LOVE FOR ALL

MANKIND...

whether they ever treat us well or not.


How we are treated then...

does not take away from our Love for them.

At all.

But it is not on our own strength that we are able to do

this..but

on God's strength that we are able to do this.


It's because of

the One who lives in us..and Loves thru us...that we are able to

truly Love others as God Loves.

I like this Mano,,and her thoughts are well placed,,as for me I DO treat others everyday the way I would want them to treat me,,so as there is always a rotten apple in a basket,,I WORK to make THAT APPLE shine fresh ,,by making a smile on a strangers face,,you never know WHO JUST MIGHT,,,need to feel like a human being today..

I have learned one thing in this life for sure now,,JUST because someone says,,acts,,or carry's them selves in a Christian WAY or life-style,,,,,THAT DOES NOT MAKE THEM A GOOD HUMAN BEING,,or a good person to know really,,,,,SOME just use GOD and His words as a ploy to make others THINK,,,their of good faith WITH AND WITHIN CHRIEST,,,,some,,,,LIE TO US AND GOD....

Not saying this for ANYONE who has made any comments here....Just in this world we live,,,MANY try to FOOL others,,and ITS in them who shall one day stand before our God with their lies all lay-ed before them...as he shows them HE knows their truths...:wink:

I am never going to be above sinning,,nor shall anyone who walks here...BUT,,to be a Christian and to LIVE that in heart and THIS IS REALLY TRUTH TO ME,,,---->WITH EVERYONE YOU MEET OR COME INTO CONTACT WITH EVERYDAY,,,to treat them WITH that GOD LOVE WITHIN YOU
that isn't faked,,isn't PUT-N,,isn't just for show,,ITS HO YOU ARE,,as in who the Lord wants us all to be,,,:heart:


And YES even I have days where I may pass over that,,,or pass someone I could have TRIED to make smile and didn't,,,BUT,,,I KNEW IT,,and remember IT,,wink,because THAT,,really bothered me that I couldn't,,,,and IN THAT STATEMENT,,,,thats what seperates MANY from each other here,,,because the ones who are not with GOD in their hearts truly,,,,,THEY wouldn't care a bit,,or desire to try,,or remember,,,,DEEP ISN'T IT,,,,,lol
This is a great post to read and have the pleasure of not battling in,,,,,laugh Thanks man,,,,and,,,be Blessed:heart:

Great way of reminding ourselves when...

Road rage drivers flip us off

Cashiers treat us rudely

Our cars don't start and we have to listen to the 3rd degree from our boss

Kids are whining

ETC...... drinker
