Forgive. Love. By Michael Davidson

There's always that one person. Always. It never fails. When you're having the greatest day imaginable, when everything is going your way, when the day has been tailor made to fit your plans, there's always that one person who is there to bring you down. There's always that person who is so negative and spiteful with the inability to just be happy for you. Its true what they say, misery loves company. If you allow yourself to be miserable, you will be. Sure, we're only human and we all have our bad days, but its all in perception. You can complain about all the things that's went wrong in your life or you can praise the fact that you have the ability to know when its right. My pastor was preaching a message Sunday morning about how he made visits and in one room there was someone who didn't want him around but in the next they were welcoming him with open arms. Its so true. There's always going to be those people who try to break you down, but there's strength in God. Its our job as Christians to not be that negative person. Its our job to heal a broken heart, its our job to be that encouraging word. I'm not going to be that negative person. I refuse to let myself be the one that ruins someone else's day. And I refuse to let someone else ruin my day. We were forgiven and we need to forgive. If someone is trying to bring you down, instead of being drug down to their level, yank them up on yours. If you see someone having a bad day, lighten their load. If someone has hurt you, get over it. Forgive them. Move on. You can't move forward and be the person God wants you to be when you're still dwelling over the past. You were forgiven. Forgive. You are loved. Love.
