In life there are many people who enter our world. Some stay and become partners and friends on our journey of faith. Others leave almost as quickly as they came. Still others seem to hang around just long enough to cause trouble and pain.
I have come to the conclusion that there are people who for many reasons have chosen to walk through life at a low level. Perhaps they have been hurt or abused and so judge all people from their disadvantaged state. When such people cross our path – as they will – we must learn to respond as people from a higher realm.
Love flows from a higher realm – hate from a lower realm.
Acceptance and respect for others flows from a higher realm – while criticism and dishonour flow from a lower realm.
Forgiveness flows from a higher realm -whereas unforgiveness flows from a lower realm.
You cannot live at a lower realm and still hope to reach great heights in God.
You must choose to be people of a higher realm and at times that is very painful.
Often living at a higher realm requires humility before God and a choosing to forgive those who have judged you from their own realm.
Be the bigger person – show humility and forgiveness in all things and in due time God will promote you to a higher realm.
I refuse to listen to voices from a lower realm as they are usually trying to get you to respond at their level.
However I greatly value the voices of those friends who have chosen to walk the journey of faith with us. Their input and wisdom is priceless.
Voices from a lower realm are always pulling down – while voices from a higher realm are always lifting up.
Remember – a leader with a low level mouth will ever only produce low level followers.
