Christmastime

Over the years I have noticed how people tend to not celebrate Christmas because they are reminded of things that someone said or did to hurt them. 

First of all Christmas is not about you and me, but about Jesus!

When you truly love someone, it is very easy to forgive them and forget any of their wrongdoings to you. Just like a mother would forgive her child, or a child would forgive an aging parent. 
True love is unconditional. 

Therefore a lack of forgiveness must mean the absence of true love. 

It is the characteristic of some people not to ever forget. 

They tend to bring up old stories and remind you after several years. 

(Thankfully GOD has blessed me with the right amount of forgetfulness☺)  

So how do you deal with such people? 
Forgive them, pray for them, and keep a safe distance from them.

Never allow negative people to disrupt your Joy. 

Remember, the darkness of evil never has and never will extinguish GOD's light

And rather than curse the darkness by criticizing, bringing up negativity etc. 

light a candle and be the light!

Christmas is a time to show that kind of love and forgiveness.

If you are reading this, may you be blessed by HIM, 

And may you experience true Joy and Peace this Christmas Season!
