Shhhhh! God saw it. Just PRAY for them!

Have you ever been in a situation where you KNOW people have wronged you, talked bad about you, and have wished the anointing on your life didn't exist yet still continue to smile in your face & act as if all is well? Well, I have actually been in a few situations like this (and currently am even though "they" don't know that I know) but I never say a mumbling word. Do I wish to fly off the meter sometimes and go "there" with them, calling them out on all their nasty mess???....Of course I do (lol!), but where will that put me with God? NOWHERE. Two wrongs don't make a right & fighting fire with fire will keep it going. I am yet learning to stay quiet & remain humble during times like that. I desire to only "speak up" or confront individuals when G-O-D says so but until then, I'd rather PRAY FOR THEM.

Here's a transparent moment: I have definitely had my share of wearing the other shoes. I have been that person who wasn't always honest, who would throw a rock & hide my hand, etc. in the PAST, and it did NOT feel good when those very things came back to bite me in the woooha! So understanding the motives of people who are "slick" and knowing what they are doing is something that I can attest to because I too have been that person....until God CHANGED me (and he's still working on me). That's part of my testimony because I can relate on both ends. Its not by coincidence that they have stopped interacting with you. God will always do one of two things: (1.) EITHER REMOVE YOU.....OR.....(2.) REMOVE THEM! Every person that says they love God doesn't like you! And that's A-OKAY :-D

So regardless of what people do to you, say about you, and think about you......RESPECT them & treat them with kindness. Love them just as God loves you because only what you do for Christ will last in the end anyways. Don't treat people how they treat you......treat them BETTER! When you find yourself in compromising situations that you know you're only one bad decision away from missing your blessing, just say a quick prayer, take a wooosah moment, & swallow a chill pill because you don't want to prolong the blessings God has in store for you. If you're the person talking about people, constantly throwing out your opinions & assumptions of them without "really" knowing who they are, yet laughing & shouting Hallelujah & Amen in their faces, then I encourage you to be verrrrrry mindful on who you put your mouth on & the motives you are doing your "dirt" in. God does not take pleasure when his children downplay one another & he will handle all of us accordingly. We reap exactly what we sow!

At the end of the day, one thing I absolutely LOVE about God is that he SEES ALL & HE KNOWS ALL! There is nothing we can hide from him, and because he is an ALL-KNOWING, ALL-POWERFUL God, he will handle each of us accordingly, therefore, you never have to raise a finger or open your mouth when people do you wrong because God has your back! In due time, he reveals all things and as I always say, God will never leave his children in the dark about anything concerning them. I bless his awesome name for protecting us even when we don't know we are in the midst of lions, tigers, & bears! Let them do whatever the devil tells them to do....but don't  you say a mumbling word....just PRAY for that person & move forward with a smile on your face & joy in your heart KNOWING that he has already worked it & "THEM", out! "In the midst of the fire....I choose to be WATER" -Shenina

Don't ever assume someone doesn't know that you wronged them because they don't say anything. Wise people know that there is a time, place, & season for everything under the sun, therefore, everything doesn't need to be confronted or spoken of at once. The time will present itself when God says so, but until then, SILENCE is the key!

AND THAT SETTLES IT! IT IS SO. AMEN.

  1. Now this is an awesome word! You can be cordial with people and not be fake. It's called maturity. Praise God for your transparency, this was an awesome read.

  2. Well thank you kindly! And you are certainly right, genuinely feeding people with a long handled spoon is WHAT'S UP! That way, you protect yourself & possibly protect them. As long as God is involved in anything, he WILL show us some things both spiritually & naturally about ourselves & others in due time. Maturity is such a beautiful thing and I appreciate your comment :-)
