How Are You Responding To The People In Your Life? Are You Allowing The Actions Of Others To Cause You To React In A Way That Does Not Reflect The Love Of God?

How are you responding to the people in your life?   How are you responding to your family?   How are you responding to your co-workers?   How are you responding to the cashier at the store?   How are you responding to the customer service representative on the phone?    What we have to understand is, our response does matter.

Even when people are wrong or do things wrong, we are still required to give a God response.     God is love.    The question is, are you responding in love or reacting based another person wrong doing.   

God looks at each of us individually.   That means He looks at the person that is encountering someone doing them wrong, as well as, the person that is doing the wrong.   His Word says that we all have to give an account.   That means, the person who is doing wrong has to give an account for what they have done and the person who is being wronged has to give an account for how they responded.

Don't allow the actions of others to cause you to react in a way that does not reflect the love of God.   Give people over to God in prayer and trust Him to deal with them.  

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION 
James 4:17 
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth [it] not, to him it is sin.
