"The Family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together"
I've been contemplating lately and these words start to creep into my mind! Take a moment!
Hate is an ugly word. Anger is poison. Jealousy kills................. Love heals!
Holding on to any negative emotions can cause potential conflict within the family. It can happen anytime and some people can't handle or manage their feelings well and would become suspicious, malicious, aggressive and violent. When the ego is hurt we create a weapon against our family its because we choose to entertain all the negative thoughts/paranoia until it becomes a nightmare!.Once in a while, a member of the family would bring chaos to us. How you deal it is up to you and that always depends on the person's perspective or level of thinking, how we process that anger. The battle is always in the mind and all you need is to use the most Powerful Force in the Universe... LOVE!
Misunderstandings, disagreements and arguments is normal as long as we don't seek for confrontation that can lead to something that we regret later on in life. We're humans and we do get to feel these emotions, we are imperfect, we have flaws, differences, we get hurt and there are time we would try to get even. Biblically it says: Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath. Understand the harm of anger, when it is uncontrolled, then its time to pump your breaks.
The real danger is when we stop talking to each other, the devil loves that idea of hating or cursing each other. Non-communication can damage the relationship completely. If so, you're just letting the evil to plant the bad seed in your head/heart and control you. It causes misery! THINK !
When things get in trouble, communication is the best way to understand each other. It is better to talk to one another with the intention of resolving the issues, listen to each other and NOT to defeat, to be heard or just to WIN the arguments. Words can be powerful to crash each other. Consider all the possibilities.
A family should walk hand in hand in the same path for this road is about patience, understanding and forgiveness. A family should encourage, uplift and forgive each other in any circumstances. STOP tearing apart. Don't make it complicated. Get a clear enlightenment, clear the air and don't let that dark smoke to get in your eyes!
Now the words of advise from my parents esp my mother gets even more powerful in my mind. And this moment I keep telling myself that in life....No matter how often we go to church and listening to the Pastor's message,, if our hearts is covered with bitter feelings, our worship is in vain.... No matter how often we offer our praises and prayers. If we hold grudge against one another. We will never find peace for it is written: He will hide His eyes from us, esp when we pray...no matter how often we read the scriptures, witnessing one another or even speak in tongues, if we don't keep the love in our hearts...God will deny US!...No matter how many people we've touched for help and wiped their tears. If we hate our own brothers or sisters or any members of our household. In HIS sight, we are called a murderer!. a murderer with a blood in his/her hands!..No matter how much advice we seek/heard... If we only choose what we want to hear or close-minded. We will never understanding. Its hard to solve issues when PRIDE gets in the way but an honest SMILE can kill it...........Try to switch the light ON
No matter how much we argue.. or how many times we commit mistakes and hurt each other, a family is a family. Whatever reasons regarding their shortcomings, beliefs and points of view. We can never hide the fact the we are a family. Never, never JUDGE each other. Forgiveness and Acceptance is a great key!
1 Corinthians 13:1-13
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
"I'M SORRY " is the cutest words that we can get. LOVE is the sweetest word we could utter out loud to a person. No other words needed! JUST LOVE...unleash the power!
