You Don't Know:
Hey World,
Ever think you just know, I mean you just KNOW what people are thinking of you, or how they feel about you, even though they haven't represented in anyway that they are thinking or feeling the way that you build up and create in your mind that they do think?
Well. . . you're not alone. This can go so many ways, it can go, you can think somebody is over you, that they don't care about you, that they feel nothing, that you're nothing to them, that the past however many years are now nothing to them not even a memory, not even a thought not even feeling. But let me tell you something, we don't know what other people are thinking or feeling, unless they have verbally told you these things, we don't actually know how they're feeling, because people hurt in different ways, they cope in different ways, deal with things differently, and you may think, well I'm dealing with it perfect, but he/she is dealing with it wrong, and that may be "true" but its not "truth" it's not how our Big daddy up stairs sees them you know?
We have to love others as we would want to be loved, and it may be hard, if the person is treating you badly, but you still got to love them. In James 5 and many other places in the Bible it states to be slow to wrath, and slow to speak. . . so in other words, keep your mouth closed, even if you really feel like you just NEED to say something or do something. What I began doing was whenever I think things that hurt me, that aren't doing anything good, that you know it's not God telling you these things, I got to a note book, I express what I'm thinking, what I want to say to a person, anything. Because then it's out of my head, and it's on paper, and I don't have to express it anybody, because if I did that, it wouldn't do me any good, because I know these thoughts are crazy to think.
Don't get angry, or hurt, because in the end no matter how much a person may have hurt you, look at the good in them, anything. Concentrate on the good, not the bad, not the hurt when you begin to think things that hurt you, just ask God to Bless them and go on, because you have a beautiful life ahead of you, whats behind you, is BEHIND you, its not ahead of you, what's behind, is behind, I can't stress this enough, don't hold on to the hurt, it's not worth it.
In my situation, I have been hurt by a few people in my life, people I really looked up to, but did they mean to hurt me? No I am sure they didn't, because I know their hearts, I know the people that they are, I know they are amazing, and as much as the hurt is right there for me to so easily grab ahold of and concentrate on, and everything, but in the end, how I see these people is that they are amazing, that I still look up to, even though my relationship with them, is not the same, and may never be again, but I pray for them everyday, I ask God to bless them everyday, because I know their heart, I know the people they are, it does no good for me to hold things against them, nor does it for them. I love every single one of these people, and the love I feel for them will never change. I know they didn't mean to hurt me, I know how much they each love me, I know how much each have impacted my life in SO MANY amazing ways, that any thought of hurt or not understanding I have about these situations, I can't concentrate on those things, because they are going to get me no where.
To whoever reads this, Love is huge, encouragement is huge. . . and biggest thing, love others how you would want to be loved, treat others as you would want to be treated. Give and you shall receive isn't just a scripture on money and tithe, it's a scripture on what you give to others what emotions what actions you give others you're going to get them right back.
To sum this up, we cannot determine our futures, we cannot say how a person is thinking or feeling about you, because we don't know, and frankly, we don't need to know, it's just our human nature to just want to know, but push those thoughts away, the power of ignore. God said in His Word that we have a spirit of power, so use it.
It's taken a lot for me to get to where I am now, but I can tell you one thing, I would not be where I am now, if it wasn't God, and amazing friends who got me through this whole mess over the past 4 going on 5 years, I struggle everyday with my mind, and destructive thoughts, know you're not alone, but also know when you feel you have nobody to talk to, or who understands you. . . you do, you've got God, talk to Him as your best friend, because He is.
Don't try and do this by yourself, you have a big daddy right beside you, 24/7, you're not alone!
