True or False

   What kind of person are you? Are you the kind of person who is always there for people or do you say you will be and then when it comes down to actually doing it you've got more important things to do? If you are there when they need you, do you keep their issues to yourself or do you secretly tell others about them? Are you that person who pretends to care but you're just wanting the inside scoop? Are you the person who thinks of others above yourself. Are you selfish or giving? Do your actions match your words? This is something that's been on my mind lately. Everyone has friends, the people they choose to be around and trust with their personal information but we are also around people that aren't always who we'd choose. It may be at work or at school or church or maybe even family but at some point we might be around people who we don't particularly like. The person you are shouldn't just look good to your friends but also the people who you might not prefer to spend your time with. Everyone has to be around people they don't like but think about it, if you're not kind to those people just think about what they might say about you to others, maybe those people they're talk to are people that you do like and now they have an ugly impression of you. My point is we should always be paying attention to the impression we are making on others. Especially for those of us who claim to follow God.

   I have to admit this is one reason why I like being a substitute. I get to move around a lot and I didn't have to really spend a lot of time with the same people. Well, now that I stay at the same place a lot lately I've met a lot of people and a few that I might not be so fond of, lol. Although I might not be so fond of them I still have to work with them so it's important for me to be nice, lol, not only morally but for the sake of my job too, haha! I know some people might not like their jobs but I do! So, I would like to keep it! But I think it's really important to be an example. Now I am far from perfect! But I want to do my best to be that person who smiles in the face a negativity. I want to be genuine. I don't want to be fake or rude. Like I said, I'm not perfect and I have done the opposite of what I should have but this something that's been on my heart lately. I don't want to be that person that people feel like they need to whisper around because I can't be trusted, or make people feel like they need to walk on their toes around. I want to be that person who brings positive energy and is a joy to work/be around. I was to be real and true, not fake and ugly. It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside because what is inside shines through so brightly people will become blind to the outward appearance. Make sure your actions match your words! Be someone that others will look up to. Be someone who inspires! Please, learn to love yourself so that you may love others! Jesus laid down everything he had for people who hated him but he still loved them wholeheartedly. That's deep. I want to have that kind of love. What is this world without love?

   Thanks for reading! Until next time, love harder, be more understanding and seek God with all your heart!
