"When a man's ways are pleasing to the LORD, he makes even his enemies live at peace with him." - Proverbs 16:7
I was reading this the other day and I found that it was SO TRUE!!
Just a bit of background, I have this classmate of mine whom I found a little different. His topics were usually quite opposites to my beliefs, and at times he would just drag me into those topics and kind of made me very embarrassed. And I didn't really enjoy being around him. (Just a note, enemies do not necessary mean that they have a hatred against you.)
And even as I was reading this verse, God spoke to me. It was kind of like a challenge to me to live my life pleasing to Him.
Needless to say, I accepted His challenge (sometimes I really don't think and just accept challenges..kinda dumb haha, but God won't harm me mah), and I allowed corrections into my life, got even more prayerful, accept my classmate for who he was, etc..
And now what really shocked me was that my classmate, not knowing why, stopped all the nonsense talks (like talk about clubbing, etc.) and he even treated me differently, not embarrassing me and we even have a common topic to talk about!
It's really amazing that sometimes God CAN really turn things around! And it is not like He gave us a change of heart, He honors His promise to us of our freedom of choice. He literally does miracles in our lives!
Just wanna challenge you guys, like in Proverbs 16:7. Live a life pleasing to God and literally see the number of enemies reduce and reduce and reduce to zero.... Hahaha!!!
