Philippians 4: 8-9
Note: For the Summer we are reprinting some devotions that ran back when we were getting this site up and running. Hopefully this is new content to you, and we will get back into writing fresh devotions as our schedule allows.
8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
I'm blessed with the type of personality that assumes that everyone likes me. I don't pretend that everyone wants to be my friend, but I'm shocked when I find out someone's mad at me. When I meet you, you can do anything short of spit in my face and I'll leave thinking that we had a good conversation. I know not everyone is wired that way, but I thank God for making me like that. I rarely read into things, and honestly it's better that way. I could spend all my time analyzing things and making assumptions, but in the end what's the point?
So rather then dwelling on whether or not someone likes you, spend time thinking about the good things in life, and the God of peace will be with you.

thats kind of my personality too. i feel when i meet someone new everything is good. but when i find out someone does not like me i try really hard to figure out why and go out my way to show them i am a good person and mean well. i think this is where my downfall is. I am nice but in a way i am too nice. i shouldn't call everyone friend. what do you think?
