The things I have learned since running my own business are amazing. what God has taught me about people, you can not put a price tag on, and what this business has showed me, I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
I say this because, I find in my business, often, strangers are more receptive to what I have to say and offer then those that have known me for years, who are more then just friends, they are family and loved ones. At first it was strange that strangers and guest would be more hospitable then family and friends, but my mentors, Mr. Aaron and Mrs. Chanelle Burt said it would be like that from the beginning.
Isn't it funny how in business and moreover, in life, strangers seem to get the best parts of us, while we reserve the worst parts of us for friends and family! The say "Familiarity breeds contempt, " but why is that when God has called us to love one another, and cherish each other in kind?
The Bible says, My beloved friends, let us continue to love each other since love comes from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and experiences a relationship with God. The person who refuses to love doesn’t know the first thing about God, because God is love—so you can’t know him if you don’t love. This is how God showed his love for us: God sent his only Son into the world so we might live through him. This is the kind of love we are talking about—not that we once upon a time loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they’ve done to our relationship with God. (I John 4:7-10)
Today, I challenge you to give you best to your friends, family, and loved ones, realizing that in doing so, you are showing the love of God, which for some, maybe the only expression of love they get to see today!
Be Blessed.
