this past Sunday, i realized that i am not the same person i was a few months ago. when people hurt me personally, professionally, intellectually, or otherwise, i forgive them. before i would ask God if the person was crazy and did they know whom they were messing with. now i am more reflective, God i am not sure why they sinned against me but i forgive them. reveal to me and forgive me for anything that i did that intimidated them or undermined them as an individual.
i don't even eat like i used to eat. i am satisfied with one plate, even if my favorite food is available.
its like when i was headed to church the other day, i decided that i could not wait until i arrived to church to worship, i began to worship in the car. i was amped, pumped and in the spirit. i realized that i need to do this even when i take the bus. you do not want to make an excuse of how worship was when you entered in. you should enter God's gates with thanksgiving and enter God's courts with praise.
so my advice is, grow up in every aspect of your life.
