DO NOT BEG TO BE LOVED

JUST THINKING:

There are people who just hate you the moment or the first time they meet you. Also, there are people who just hate you for no reason and they cannot explain why they hate you. They hate your guts, charisma, personality, fashion sense, comments and so on. Any thing you do irritates them and when they see you, anger wells up within them for no reason. You have asked yourself and other people why that particular person(s) hates you but you cannot place a finger on it.  

It could have been what you said, did, what someone else told that person about you or what you did and it could be a wrong impression the person has of you. Many times, people judge you from afar due to one incident or the other. No one should judge you or anyone based on the mistake(s) you have made because everyone makes mistakes. They may not know what you are going through and your frame of mind at the time of the mistake. 

Of no fault of yours, the person may hate you because of something that happened. Other times, it could be your attitude and it could also be that the person has an attitude or complex problem. My advice to you is that you should not try to please them or do anything that will make them like you. The truth is that the more you do things to please them, the more you make more mistakes and do more annoying things that will make them hate you the more. 

In the cause of doing things to get their attention to like you, you will end up bringing yourself down and those people will use it as an opportunity to trample you down. Everyone cannot be your friend and you should also realize that everyone may not like you but there are people who will certainly love you for who you are.

Luke 6:26 MSG says, “There’s trouble ahead when you live only for the approval of others, saying what flatters them, doing what indulges them. Popularity contests are not truth contests—look how many scoundrel preachers were approved by your ancestors! Your task is to be true, not popular".

You should also realize that those people may like and admire you but they are so full of themselves with complex issues that they would prefer to use reverse psychology on you. Just don't worry about it because someday or sometime in the future, something will happen that will change their minds and their impression about you. At this point, they will see you the way you are and in a different light.  

For this reason, please, do not beg anyone to love or like you because you are a complete and perfect being made in the image of God. Your worth is not the impression people have of you but it is that you were fearfully and wonderfully made by God. The designer's original and a complete being is what you are. The approval or disapproval of men of you does change who you are.
