✨ Be extra kind ✨ (Short Update)

Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

Colossians 3:12

Be extra kind.

Everyone struggles, not only you. But that does not mean that you'll have bad attitude towards others JUST BECAUSE you either feel bad or feel bad about them. Just remember God's kindness to you. 💖 Share this love you receive everyday from the Lord. Be extra kind because Jesus would do the same.

💕 Change your mindset. It's not about what you feel, but it's about how you will express Jesus in this broken world. Be selfless, and have more of Jesus.

💕 Try to be more empathetic. When someone suddenly shouts at you or treats you bad, maybe they're going through something. Breathe in and out. Do not hold onto anger.

💕 Thoughts can be deceitful, hindi purkit parang feeling mo na sayo lahat ng burden, dapat magalit ka na. The devil knows where you're weak, so listen to God more (keep in mind his promises) rather than listening to negative, full of anger thoughts.

💕 Be led by the Holy Spirit. Kaya hirap tayo sa pagdeal sa mga situations sa paligid natin is because we aren't led by the Holy Spirit but by our impulses or hormones. But we must not be led by the flesh but by His spirit. Sabi nga, mas matindi ang reaction kaysa sa situation. Madalas, di naman talaga big deal yung nangyayari. Masyado lang natin pinapalaki.

Remember that isa sa mga sinabi ni James ay, "Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry." Why? Kasi by doing so, we can help others and ourselves to avoid further damages and unfortunate circumstances. It also helps us to think through everything. Plus, by doing so, we also reflect more of Jesus in every way.
