HUMAN REACTIONS

Dear One,

     The first reaction a person has when someone insults you or in some way chides you or opposes you is to curse the person in your mind, which you surmise restores you to a place of superiority over the person in your own thoughts.   That is the opposite of what you should do for your own emotional and physical benefit.
     You should bless the person in your mind, bestowing upon the person a place of equality and equal blessings with you.
      Just the act of blessing the person in your mind keeps you from cursing the person to someone else later on. The person's act of cursing you will be met with an act of blessing the person, which stops the flow of cursing and opposition and strife  where it began, in the embryo stage, rather that it escalating into a full blown disagreement between two people.
     Extending blessings to others is an act of forgiveness in which I want you to be constantly engaged, giving no place in your mind to the devil.
    When you, by an act of your will, choose to bless someone instead of cursing the person, you have exercised the choice between blessings and curses, and you have chosen wisely, choosing to bless others just like Jesus did.
    Adopt the blessing that Jesus chose while He was on the cross, "Forgive them, Father, for they don't know what they are doing."
    People don't know when they oppose you or chide you or insult you that they are sowing strife into their own lives which will return to them as destruction in some way.  Your blessing them will cancel the strife from enveloping you and will help to negate the effect of the strife upon the originator of the strife.
    After blessing instead of cursing someone, then let it drop from your mind.  If you don't, it will rear its ugly head and boomerang back on you, bringing strife back to curse you.
    It's a simple practice to remember to constantly bless people in your thoughts and words when you see that they deserve anything but blessings.  That's what I do.  Do likewise and you will enjoy emotional and physical prosperity. .
    Love, God
