Never retaliate when people say unkind things about you.   Pay them back with a blessing.

“Now finally, all of you should be like-minded and sympathetic, should love believers, and be compassionate and humble, not paying back evil for evil or insult for insult but, on the contrary, giving a blessing, since you were called for this, so that you can inherit a blessing.”  —1 Peter 3:8-9 HCSB

ONLY YOU CAN SHARE YOUR TESTIMONY

"You must be willing to share your testimony while you are alive on this earth, to glorify the Lord. If you don't , there are others who would be more than willing to share a fiction version about you when you are gone, and will testify about their perceptions rather than the truth." #Evonika❤ღ❤ https://www.facebook.com/VOICEThroughChristMinistries

Hate & Love Do Not Go Together

If you hate & say you hate another person, you're not walking in the fear of The Lord because you hate what He loves. When we fear The Lord we love what He loves and hate what He hates.

“We love because God first loved us. If people say, “I love God,” but hate their brothers or sisters, they are liars. Those who do not love their brothers and sisters, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have never seen. And God gave us this command: Those who love God must also love their brothers and sisters.”

—1 John 4:19-21 NCV

STAND FOR THE TRUTH!

The truth will always be the truth, even if no one believes it.

“When you enter that home, say, ‘Peace be with you.’ If the people there welcome you, let your peace stay there. But if they don’t welcome you, take back the peace you wished for them. And if a home or town refuses to welcome you or listen to you, leave that place and shake its dust off your feet. I tell you the truth, on the Judgment Day it will be better for the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah than for the people of that town.”

— Matthew 10:12-15 NCV

LOVE IS CONSISTENT

"The more you base your love on emotion the less love you have, and the more inconsistent your relationships are. Agape loves consistently, even when we don't deserve it "— Erika Seaborn

“If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. If you do what is good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do what is good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is gracious to the ungrateful and evil. Be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.”

—Luke 6:32-36 HCSB

DON'T TAKE THE BAIT OF PROJECTION

Stop Taking the Bait of Projection

When someone calls another person a hypocrite,  it is usually because they feel as if they are a perfect judge… and not God.  They don't believe in mercy, grace, or forgiveness and believe they have the final say.

“You judge by human standards. I judge no one. And if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent Me judge together. Even in your law it is written that the witness of two men is valid. I am the One who testifies about Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies about Me.””

— John 8:15-18 HCSB

““Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.”

— Luke 6:37 HCSB

“And in the morning, ‘Today will be stormy because the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to read the appearance of the sky, but you can’t read the signs of the times.”

— Matthew 16:3 HCSB

“For everything that belongs to the world — the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride in one’s lifestyle — is not from the Father, but is from the world. And the world with its lust is passing away, but the one who does God’s will remains forever.”

—1 John 2:16-17 HCSB

One must acknowledge their sinful nature before they can adhere to the good news of redemption.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is God’s power for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek. For in it God’s righteousness is revealed from faith to faith, just as it is written: The righteous will live by faith.”  —Romans 1:16-17 HCSB

THE BURDEN BEARER

“Stone is heavy, and sand is weighty, but a complaining fool is worse than either.”

— Proverbs 27:3 NCV

Resentment comes in various forms, such as spitefulness, jealousy, and anger. The most common form of resentment is anger. When dealing with people who hold a grudge, enraged, or bitterness toward others…it can become a toxic burden for the listener to bear. Whenever we deal with others, we must remember that their emotions can either infect or affect us . The choice is yours, will you allow others to infect you with their anger, bitterness, jealousy, or other form of resentment ? Choose today to be affected by Jesus Christ! Once you receive Him into your life , He will redeem you & the burden that He asksyou to accept is easy &  the load He gives to carry is light. (Matthew 11:30) 

““My Father has given me all things. No one knows the Son, except the Father. And no one knows the Father, except the Son and those whom the Son chooses to tell. “Come to me, all of you who are tired and have heavy loads, and I will give you rest. Accept my teachings and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in spirit, and you will find rest for your lives. The burden that I ask you to accept is easy; the load I give you to carry is light.””

—Matthew 11:27-30 NCV

“Besides this, knowing the time, it is already the hour for you to wake up from sleep, for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is nearly over, and the daylight is near, so let us discard the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us walk with decency, as in the daylight: not in carousing and drunkenness; not in sexual impurity and promiscuity; not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no plans to satisfy the fleshly desires.”

— Romans 13:11-14 HCSB

Being visually impaired, I was discriminated against in job interviews, in former workplaces, and sadly in the church. By the grace of God, I made it through those experiences and learned from them as I became stronger. God will help you through any situation , when you completely trust Him!

I am a living testimony of His goodness!

““Write to the angel of the church in Laodicea: “The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Originator of God’s creation says: I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were cold or hot. So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am going to vomit you out of My mouth.”

— Revelation 3:14-16 HCSB

“There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.”

—Proverbs 14:12 HCSB

“Brothers and sisters, I know that I have not yet reached that goal, but there is one thing I always do. Forgetting the past and straining toward what is ahead, I keep trying to reach the goal and get the prize for which God called me through Christ to the life above.”

—Philippians 3:13-14 NCV
