Since good things inspire you to do
the same and more, at the same time bad things also cause fear in you and
through your conscience you will truly abstain from it. We couldn't worry about
death if we didn't see human beings and other God’s creatures die; the same way we couldn't love to be righteous if we didn't see, hear or read about the
rewards of those who were and are now righteous in the Lord. Having said so, don’t
hate those who showed bad examples or did bad things or don’t hate the failures
or losers, because in one way or another their cases are for you to know and
study right or wrong things, and hence have that understanding on how to turn away from those bad
things they did into good and good into best things, you see other things in life once we learn it in hard ways it really became a big lesson; it became better, forms discipline in us and even uplift our faith in Jesus and finally became the standard of living, this is to say that it renews the fear of the Lord our God in us. Therefore in all ways
thank God for them for they became our case studies and specimen for us to live
in right way which pleases God.
Sometimes I think how my standard of
living could have be or was supposed to be, if there were no examples of people
to learn from them and follow if its good what they were doing and abandon if its bad, be it either by reading, seeing or hearing; mind you what we are
currently doing is not new at all i.e. there are people caused it to happen by just
allowing themselves to be used by it whether written, those we see or those we
hear from different documentaries. This is why also Holy Bible was written by mere
human beings like you and me with the inspiration of Holy Spirit, so don’t deceive yourself that you made a new thing, that's just chasing after winds as Bible says its really that; there is nothing new under the sun, whatever you are doing there are the people whether good doers or evil doers made a big lesson in you.
This is also the reason why the Bible
says love your enemies with all your heart; those who persecutes you and not only friends, for they are used to sharpen you into righteous way of living.
Love all, like the way David loved King Saul or the way Jesus loved Judah Iscariot and the way Jesus loves the church, the way Elisha loved Elijah also, the way genuine
Christians love Jesus Christ so as to learn from them and finally be like gold
which passed through furnace fire. Be blessed in Jesus Christ name.
