Having the Mindset of Christ When it Seems Impossible

5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: (Philippians 2:5 NIV)

Jesus Christ sees us as Children of God. It says in    1 John 3:1 "How great is the love the Father has lavished on us that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are. The reason the world does not know us is because they do not know Him."     As is stated in this scripture, we are children of God! That is amazing! However, I am constantly finding myself aggravated with someone or thinking of someone poorly. Something I do when I start to get negative thoughts about people is think that ~THEY ARE CHILDREN OF GOD TOO!~ as hard as it might be to like them we must try as best we can to see them "with the same mindset as Jesus Christ"  it doesn't mean we have to be friends with them, it just means we need to know that God loves them and we don't know what they are going through. They could have a horrible situation or self confidence issues. Who knows but The Lord? So next time you find yourself having those thoughts remember the verse at the top and pray for those you re struggling in your relationships with.
