Friday Matters
Everyday God Bless You

Jan had commented on my Facebook post about loving others, “When people are less than kind it’s then that I have a hard time 'loving' them.... mostly at work. The office can bring out the worst in people…including me.” Oh my, I so get it. SOOO, when someone hurts me I’ve tried and pretend their “nasty” aimed at me was only a sneeze and I respond (under my breath) with “God Bless you!” and guess what? It really does work.
God actually tells us in Luke 6:28 to bless those who curse us. Let me say that again, “Bless those who hurt you.” Because if Satan works through a person to hurt us and we end up hating that person back because we’re hurt than the enemy’s job has been accomplished two times over. But if we respond to another’s curse with a blessing then we’ve gotten Satan back and we walk away in peace. Thank You, God, for blessings US…everyday.
