My Testimony

Among my colleagues, there are some with whom I was once very close, but later I gradually started to dislike them. Then I grew close to them again, but later I gradually started to dislike them again. This cycle repeated several times.

When they do not behave according to my expectations, or when I feel that they subtly disrespect me, I become deeply offended. As a result, I easily begin to develop secret resentment in my heart.

Whenever I experience these feelings, I wonder how I can respond in a way that is according to God's will.

Sometimes I want to stop being so polite and start speaking and acting more boldly without so much hesitation. At the same time, I am afraid that doing so might be against God's will. As a result, I feel stuck in the middle, not knowing what to do or how to set my mind.

Then one morning, I read these Bible verses:

Luke 6:27-28

[27] “But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, [28] bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. 

To me, these verses were a revelation (I hope I am speaking truthfully). So I made up my mind:

Even if my colleagues do not behave according to my expectations, I should not develop negative feelings toward them. Because of God, I will choose to look at them with love. Whenever our desires differ, when we disagree in certain areas, or when they act differently from what I expected, I will seek God's guidance, submit myself to Him, and honestly express my own thoughts and desires.

After doing this, even if we still disagree, I will rely on God's strength to continue treating them with love and looking upon them with love. That is how I have made up my mind.

Praise be to God. Hallelujah, Amen ❤
