Oftentimes we try and figure out the situation so we can figure out how to approach it. The only problem with that is that in many cases according to the spiritual realm -is that the approach is the same irregardless! There’s no figuring to be done. For example calm a regardless of the individual you are dealing with -you are always kind and respectful to the best of your ability. If we are dealing with a dishonest person; regardless of circumstance or conditions-we remain honest and maintain our integrity without question!
One of the differences between Jesus and ourselves is that He knows what’s in a person’s soul -whereas in many cases, we ourselves DO NOT. He knows who is salvageable -and who is the last cause. But He probably treated everybody just the same none the less. In the poem of the man God with regard to Judas the scariette he stated I have to try, I cannot let it be said that in any instance “I never tried to save a soul.” So once again -It boils down to the right action, from a spiritual perspective, is generally the appropriate action under (m)any and all conditions -or circumstances. 🤷♂️ “So stop doing the figurin’ -and let God do the figurin'” [play off a line from the movie “Rocky” (1976)].
When I’m passing a person on the street I don’t know if I’m going to run into a jerk or somebody very kind. When I choose to bow to my ego and snub them before they snub me -I may very well be snubbing a kind person and and adding coldness whether once or where there once was none. Are you the type of person who is more willing to turn a warm person into a cold person -or more willing to risk whatever warmth you have in you becoming cold by reaching out and being snubbed? Remember, you always have control over whether you become warm or cold in the end. Remember, you do in fact affect others for better or for worse! Can you live with affecting them for the worst?*
*They say we are powerless over others: people; places; and things. This is perhaps one of the biggest half truths or half lies in the universe. Just about everything we do is founded upon the actions and attitudes of those around us. Armies are based upon…. Attitudes are based upon…. Actions (from the time we can walk) are based upon… So next time…
