Just Smile and be nice!
My grandmother, Mama Julia used to always tell me to "Just smile and be nice!" This came after ran crying to her when someone made rude remarks toward me or were just plain inconsiderate and ugly. I always wondered why she would tell me this. I wanted sympathy but instead, what did I hear? "Just smile and be nice!"
Since becoming an adult, I wish I could hug her neck and thank her for her loving advice. It has kept me from a lot of heartache and trouble. Too often we come across people who are having a bad day, and who seem to want to make yours a mess too. You are too old, too fat, too this, too that; and it goes on and on!
Luke 6:28 tell us to Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. This is not easy, but it can be done with God's help. We cannot pick and choose scriptures that suit us. If we believe the word of God, then we should trust and believe all of it.f it.
So the next time you are being talked down to, pushed aside and/or put off in some way, pray a silent prayer, smile and give them a compliment. You would be surprised how amazing this is. And know this, if you were not moving toward your blessing, breakthrough or a new level in life, the deceiver would not have bothered to use someone to sidetrack you.
Press on in Jesus name and remember, "Just smile and be nice!"
God bless,
Pamyla
