The mistreatment we might receive from people around us can stir up many emotions in us. We might not say anything, we might hate, we might get angry, we might even try to take matters into our own hands forcefully deal with the problem. But if we find ourselves ever mistreated by another, it is not our job to defend ourselves, it is God’s (Romans 12:17-21). I have talked to many people that have felt like life is not so great for them, where they feel un-appreciated in their …
As you rise and shine this morning, don’t start your day without acknowledging your Lord and Savior with thanksgiving. What a blessing to start your day with gratitude in your heart. Here are some suggestions provided by David in (Psalm 103:1-5).
