A few months ago someone told me about a person who I had been helping feverishly and who was profiting quite a bit from my help. A friend of mine happened to be at the same restaurant, seated in the next booth, and overheard their conversation, which just happened to be about me - and they werent saying good things either. At first I got mad and just wanted to tell her that I was absolutely, positively, affirmatively, without a shadow of a doubt never ever, ever, ever helping her again! But in bed that night, the Holy Spirit said to me, Youre not going to do any of those things. He said, No, youre going to do what you teach. Youre going to go buy her a present, and youre going to tell her how much you appreciate her. Needless to say, I resisted at first. But eventually, I relented and bought her a gift. What I remember most about the situation is that as soon as I started taking action to do something good for her, it just got so funny to me. I was laughing out loud in the house, all by myself. When we can look at people whove hurt us with compassion, theres a party that goes on inside of us. So who can you forgive and do something nice for today? Practice forgiveness and follow the path it leads to real peace and joy! Be blessed and bless somebody else today. #Faithoverfear
