If you're like us, then you just might have people in your life who will try to steal your joy. Be encouraged today! In everything, GIVE THANKS and never stop loving and praying for them. God gives us so much grace that we don't deserve, so in turn we need to show grace to others because that is the heart of God.
"People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway." -Associated with Mother Teresa, however, it was adapted from The Paradoxical Commandments by Kent Keith (1968)
