Have you ever experienced people being for you and then they switch up and are against you? People can be fickle. I often think of Jesus and how one week the people were yelling “Hosanna, Hosanna” and literally a week later they were yelling “Crucify Him, Crucify Him.”
I’m sure you’ve experienced the highs and lows of people, one minute they’re on your side and the next they quickly change based on who’s around. It has happened to all of us, people change on us. But the one thing we can learn from God is, he loved them anyway. He blessed the people that spoke against him, he even prayed for them. How are you like God in this way? Do you pray for your enemies? Do you ask God to bless them?
People will turn their backs on you, it happens, however, we are called to love them anyway. As believers, we are to follow the path Christ showed us. It won’t be easy, it’s not easy. We will mess up along the way, but we must keep moving forward. Whenever I’m faced with the choice of showing grace to someone, I remind myself of the grace that was shown to me, it always puts things in perspective. You can do this, I can do this! And remember, if you don’t get it right, try, try again. You can do it! And don’t forget to ask for help, God loves it when his children comes to him. Now, go forth and love on people, God’s way!
