R.E.A.P. MESSAGE

 

"I only focus on that which I love, everything else I ignore."
Sonya Terry
 
R.E.A.P. MOVEMENT
Remember the last time someone got on your LAST nerve?  Insulted you . . . looked at you the wrong way . . . said something just to generate a response?  And after they said what they said or did what they did, they moved on . . . but since you had to "set them straight," or give them a piece of what mind you had left, now YOU were the one walking around with a messed up spirit . . . telling everybody who would listen what "they" said, did, or didn't do?   
 
 
R.E.A.P. MANIFESTATION
Try this:  Focus on what you love and ignore everything else.  The next time someone "tests" you by making a negative comment, reply with something totally unrelated like, "don't you hate getting out of your warm bed in the morning when it's cold outside?"  Your response will confuse the attacker and diffuse the situation.  As you try to keep from laughing at your attacker's bewilderment, remember that you also can exercise your right to simply "ignore" them . . . with love. 
 
"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
1 Cor 13:13 (niv)
