LIVE A POSITIVE LIFE. INFLUENCE OTHERS.
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.“ Romans 8:28 New International Version (NIV)     One of the important things I learned this week is that we need to be with people in order to learn how to love. We cannot learn to love in isolation. We have to learn how to deal with all kinds of people - frustrating, complaining, competitive, judgmental, ungrateful, self-righteous, imperfect people. Of course, there are people who make every minute worthwhile. These are the ones who radiate positive vibes: loving, caring, reasonable, kind, understanding and inspiring.   We cannot avoid getting hurt. I heard one pastor say that if we are going to have ourselves involved with people, we might as well sign a contract that says we are going to get hurt at least once in the course of the relationship. This applies not only in romantic relationships but in all kinds of relationships. People fail us sometimes. This is just how people are, imperfect.   I do feel sour sometimes. Hurt and depressed. But I always give up such feelings to God.  …and He always succeeds in making me feel worthy and loved.   “Be still, and know that I am God…”  Psalm 46:10
