Instead of dwelling on who wronged you or how messed up thing are...
 "Be the change you wish to see in the world." -Mahatma Ghandi

Because,
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." -MLK Jr.



Shine love, forgiveness, and mercy when no one else will-- not because you're the "better person," but because God does it for you every day. There's no better way to understand and appreciate Him than to humbly bow down and serve, knowing He has been serving you and is always with you.

I care more about what God thinks than what anyone else thinks, or what I think. Some say it's ignorant not to use my intellect to try and reason what is right or wrong-- I've found that intellect is not than intelligent. 

Others say it's unloving to care more about what God thinks, than what they think-- I've found that there is no more honest, satisfying, and powerful love than His.

We people can be ugly. The world has many wrongs. Tragedies happen that tear the heart to pieces. We can see these and genuinely cry, or scream, or feel defeated-- grieving the pains around us is natural and develops empathy as well as strength. But to stay in that place of sadness, anger, or defeat is to turn off the light in the darkness of night. You can rage and rage, or cry endlessly, or moan in agony about the defeat until the end of your days-- and at best, lose your sight; at worst, cause others to stumble and turn their light off too.
 So I pick myself up and trust that God is who He says He is, and nothing can take that away. As one of Jesus' disciples said, "I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength." Philippians 4:12-13

I absolutely agree.
