There are many classifications of people in our lives;
family, friends, associates, strangers, and yes even haters. The dynamic is amazing because all of the
above can go between each category.
Whatever category a person may be in, there is a function that each has
as well as our behavior towards them.
We’ve heard the old saying “Keep your friends close, but
keep your enemies closer”. In some
circles I guess that serves a purpose, but that’s not what the discussion is
about today.
As much as we would like it to be so, everyone is not going
to like us. As impeccable as our
character may be; as much integrity as we display, there are those that will
not desire to be civil; for those very reasons.
Their rational may not be logical, however this is the world that we
live in.
Jesus teaches us to love our enemies, pray for them, and do
good to them although they may have, display, or even enact ill will towards
us. For some this may pose a challenge,
but I assure you that with God’s help and strength, it is possible.
Enemies or Haters, have a place and a purpose in our lives. For some, haters serve as scapegoats while
others serve as motivation. It’s common
knowledge that haters will attempt to discourage, slander, impede, or sabotage any
positive action that is made towards achieving one’s goals. Scapegoat or motivation, their purpose in our lives
is an individual choice.
Once an object is understood and identified, it can be used
correctly. If you don’t know how to use
a certain tool, you may cause more harm than good and the damage done may take
longer to repair. The energy that you’d
use negatively towards your hater can be re-channeled to accomplishing your
goal.
Truth is that they must be in our lives; the must be close in order for them to see
you achieve; to see you win; to see you succeed. One of the ancient tacticians/king/poet said;
“Thou prepares a table before me in the presence of my enemies”. So let your haters hate, that’s what they do;
that’s no surprise. Continue to do you;
trust me you’re an expert at it. Fulfill
your purpose because your destiny is waiting.
This has been your 80 seconds of encouragement.
