Be The Best Experience For Someone Else Everyday!!

I was reminded today of how my attitude and behavior (whether negative or positive) affects the next individual each day. In my last blog, I wrote about the attacks that I have been under lately. But even as I have "been wading through the troubled waters" lately, I have managed to keep a smile on my face. I have managed to still be good to those around me, and all those that I encounter daily. I did'n't want to give so much power to the enemy that these attacks dictate my daily mood and emotions. For so long I walked that path, and paid a heavy price for it. But as I continue to walk with God, and grow more and more in Him, I see the fruits of making the decision to allow His light to shine through me-regardless of what I am currently going through or facing. Has it been an easy task? No it definitely has not been! But I can truly say that it has been a worthy one. Well, today I saw just how strong of an influence this mindset has on others. I was shown a memory on Facebook from when I taught MA courses at an area technical/community college in the area. One of my past students was stating how appreciative she was of me and other instructors who made her school career worth it and manageable through our positive and Godly examples and efforts, as she was trying to better herself for her future. She spoke of how this kept her focused and going so that she could get to the finish line. It reminded me of how walking in love and peace, having joy, and allowing the light of God to shine through me should be intentional and daily. This also reminded me that this decision was not just for me. I say this because it took me years to realize that some things that we go through in this life are not only for us, but for someone else too. These experiences strengthen our message, our ministry to an unbelieving world, allowing them to come/go to God (starting and maintaining an intimate relationship with Him) to work out their salvation, and receive healing and deliverance from whatever they maybe going through or battling. When I finally grasped this powerful truth, I finally grabbed onto the humility and authority that comes with it. In doing so, I finally learned the importance of becoming the best experience for someone else. And I finally learned the secret to becoming victorious in life-steadfast and immovable faith-regardless of situations and circumstances.

So I encourage anybody, that whatever you may be going through today, make the decision (on purpose!) to smile anyway, so that you can grow through it. And once you learn to master this, you will begin to see how becoming the best experience for someone else, also helps you become the best version of you-for you! When you make the choice to be good to others, even though you may be in the midst of several bad experiences, you not only assist them in receiving their healing, but you also actively participate in your own(healing)!
