Good morning brother… Well actually not much left of the morning as its soon to be dinner time… that's lunch for you city folks…wink. And your thought about stealing peoples joy... comfort... faith... is a very valid one as that is something that I often think about. Yes whether material things are stolen from us or we in some way shape or form steal material things from others…what you're talking about is something that needs to be thought about by folks in a very real and spiritual way. Because in the sense of that…stealing peace joy and contentment could maybe kinda sorta have even a more negative impact on people physically... mentally... emotionally and yes spiritually. It's like those people in our life that we know… Whether they're family ... close friends or acquaintances… But those people that when we see them coming our way we just want to turn and run because we know that in someway through their negativity...they're pessimism… that dark cloud that always seems to be hanging over their head… is going to try to steal our peace and joy and contentment…and that's not good. And... we need to think when we're around people that are friends or family or acquaintances… That we don't act in that same type of way of being negative and pessimistic...even if we are having a bad day... that in someway we can steal their peace and joy and contentment. You know the saying talking about the glass being half full or being half empty…and i won't go into that cause I think we all understand that… But as believers…and I sometimes say this…we should maybe have the frame of mind that my glass is not half empty my glass is not half full…my cup is overflowing and so is my saucer.…i am blessed no matter what is going on thru my relationship with Jesus. Now I know we can't be totally upbeat and optimistic all the time I get that… But through our witness and testimony to other people…we need to have a frame of mind through the Lord Jesus Christ… through the Holy Spirit living in us…that we don't just put up a good front…that people can see Jesus in and thru us…and when they see us be they are believer or a non-believer…they really do want what we have because they can see the peace and joy and contentment in us… And everybody wants that wheather their are saved or not... right? I truly believe that when we have aquired the peace and joy and contentment thru Jesus...that Jesus dont expect us to let others...satan...the world...nobody...to steal that from us even if it means separating ourselves from those types of people. Period!. Ok...im getting ready to start chasing the rabbit around the hole and I think maybe I've made my point…wink… So yes brother… Very valid point… And have a awesome day man !
