Bloom where you are planted: Always keep sweet and go on shining!

 

Blessed be ye of the Lord, that ye have shewed this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul. 

~ 2 Samuel 2:5

We need to always remember to bloom where we are planted: Always keep sweet and go on shining your light! That is all we can do, no matter what struggles or cards we are dealt, we can overcome all with Jesus Christ! We need to always learn to never respond with bitterness, hate, or resentment. Never! Today the Mornings with God App had a nice reminder for all of us in how we need to live and respond as we go about our Earthly walk in this world! 

The Mornings With God App today said, "We must remember how Saul treated David, chasing him through the hills like a wild animal. Yet David never responded with bitterness or resentment. Twice, at least, he had the chance to take Saul’s life but spared him. Through all those bitter days, David kept his heart loving and free from hatred. When Saul died, David’s grief was expressed in a beautiful elegy full of tenderness. Later, when he heard that the people of Jabesh-Gilead had honored Saul’s body, his heart was gladdened, and he was deeply grateful. All of this shows a magnanimous spirit, the very spirit that Jesus would later commend as belonging to the kingdom of heaven. The challenge of true living is to keep the heart always warm and loving, no matter what storms are brewing outside. “Always keep sweet and go on shining” is a good motto."

Today we need to keep our hearts loving and free from all hatred. It is so critical. We see so much hate and aggression today, it honestly is sad to see. Even from some who are supposed to be from the clergy or clothe, it is hard to understand. We all have a choice in life, we can choose hate, negativity, and live in misery, or we can be loving, positive, and joyful in the Lord. We need to make it our pact when we wake up in the morning to thank God first and foremost for all and say, this is the day the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in it! We need to try our best to live like Jesus, to follow, reflect, and imitate Him in all we do. If we truly want honor and to live in Spirit and spend life eternal in Heaven with Jesus, we need to live in love. Yes, always keep sweet and go on shining! Always!
