Behavior

The way in which one acts or conducts oneself, especially towards others.

Good morning beautiful people! I am praying for each of you today and love you to life!

Humbly, I landed on behavior this morning. To be more specific, the way we act towards others. I can only speak for me and my experiences this morning. Possibly, you can relate. I have been on the giving and receiving end of both types of behaviors.

(Positive and negative)

Keeping it real, I try daily to live by the golden rule and leave others a little better than they were when I came in contact with them. However, there are moments when I allow self to control my actions and everytime I regret it afterwards. One thing I've learned in this life, everyone doesn't think or act the same. Additionally, people aren't going to always treat you the way you want to be treated. One step further, we're not always going to treat people the way we should either. Let's face it...relationships on any level takes work, if we want them to be healthy and whole? It doesn't matter whether it is a close family member, an acquaintance, or a stranger who we just met. It's an encounter and an opportunity to show the love of Christ!

Misunderstandings will occur. Feelings will be hurt, and yes it could be your feelings or mine. When this happens and trust and believe that it will, don't let your feelings be your guide. In those moments, seek guidance from the one that created you. Allow God to do something incredible in your life, in your heart. People will disappoint you and yes, you and I will disappoint others. The growth begins when we can accept accountability for our actions and possibly say I'm sorry. Then... lean in, change that behavior that brought us there.

This life is one continuous cycle of learning and loving. Or maybe I should reverse that...loving and learning? Either way you choose to go, manage those behaviors. Allow God to guide you and you'll be just fine. I have nothing but love for you! May God bless you abundantly today! Amen or Ouch?

You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.
