Your words, your deeds, fill up the story of your life. There are those who wish for peace, for kindness, for mercy, for unity, for love in their lives, and yet sow words of discord, anger, divisiveness, hatred, drama and purposeful misconception. And then they wonder why their lives are not bearing the fruit of good things, but are instead constant swirls of a storm of their own making.
We will all enter into storms in life, sometimes because other people bring them to us, sometimes because it just the way of life, but often because we have stirred those storms up ourselves. If you would have peace in your life, then spread seeds of peace. If you would have love, then be loving. If you would see people united instead of divided, then share ways to communicate ways of bringing people together, instead of talking about how we are divided. If you don't like drama, then don't stir it up.
If you want love, be loving. If you want mercy, be merciful. If you want kindness, be kind. If you want peace, be peaceful. Reach out to all, find ways to bring peace to people, seek to unite instead of divide, be generous with compliments and encouragements, be slow with words of criticism. Be silent with words of cruelty.
What do you want to write on the scroll of your life?
Be blessed, my friends, and may you be a blessing unto someone else,
