It is up to each one of us as humans: Make us of one heart and mind; Courteous, pitiful, and kind; Lowly, meek, in thought and word, Altogether like our Lord!

It is up to each one of us as humans: Make us of one heart and mind; Courteous, pitiful, and kind; Lowly, meek, in thought and word, Altogether like our Lord!

Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous.

— 1 Peter 3:8

Make us of one heart and mind;

Courteous, pitiful, and kind;
Lowly, meek, in thought and word,
Altogether like our Lord.

—C. Wesley

A little thought will show you how vastly your own happiness depends on the way other people bear themselves toward you. The looks and tones at your breakfast-table, the conduct of your fellow-workers or employers, the faithful or unreliable men you deal with, what people say to you on the street, the way your cook and housemaid do their work, the letters you get, the friends or foes you meet,—these things make up very much of the pleasure or misery of your day. Turn the idea around, and remember that just so much are you adding to the pleasure or the misery of other people’s days. And this is the half of the matter which you can control. Whether any particular day shall bring to you more of happiness or of suffering is largely beyond your power to determine. Whether each day of your life shall give happiness or suffering rests with yourself.

—G. S. Merriam

It is up to each one of us as humans: Make us of one heart and mind; Courteous, pitiful, and kind; Lowly, meek, in thought and word, Altogether like our Lord! Today we see so many people so unhappy. They are ungrateful, lack God, are negative, full of hate, and living in misery. They just do not know how to count their blessings! However, it is absolutely up to each one of us as individual human beings, we all have a choice. We can choose to b loving, kind, prayerful, grateful, positive, loving, and joyful in the Lord, it is our choice, it is sad to see so many today so full of so much hate and many with TDS. They need our help and prayers. It is sad how they turn our world upside down with their hate and woke ideology. Stay focused on Jesus, obey God, live upright and holy lives, God promised us happiness in this life when we follow His advice. We are called to be like Jesus, to follow, reflect, forgive, imitate, and love like Him! Not be haters and unhappy. Yes, I so agree with all these quotes and Bible verse above, we need to be grateful, prayerful, positive, loving, and joyful in the Lord! Stay positive! Pray for all the haters! Follow Jesus and love like Him!
