People think that they can bully you and change the perception of others when it comes to you, but what they don't realize is they're actually doing you a favor. You asked God to remove all the people in your life that no longer serve you, all the people that secretly don't like you, all the people that are trying to sabotage you. Asked God to remove all these people out of your life. You prayed and asked God this.
And the reason being is because your judgment was kind of clouded. And the reason why is because you see the best in everybody. Even when people are not good individuals, what it is about you is you see who they can be because although there may have been more cons when it came to your relationship with them or your association with them, you held on to the pros. You held on to the good qualities about them.
Because again, I mentioned this [clears throat] in the past. When God looks at his children or when God looks at people, he can also see the good qualities of people. And because you have a heart like Christ, you see the best qualities of people. But the difference between you and Christ is God has perfect discernment. When it comes to us, it's like we have to be trained within our discernment, right? And often times we let holding on to the pros of individuals cloud our discernment. And that's when God steps in.
So when you say God, please remove everybody out of my life that no longer serves me, that is meaning me harm, please remove everybody, then what happens is you start to notice that every single person around you start showing their true colors. All of a sudden now everyone's bullying you or someone's bullying you, but you're noticing everyone is jumping on board, they're flying monkeys, etc. But God allows this to happen as well because you have to understand that the kind of person you were and the kind of heart you you have, you will be supporting even the people that don't like you. And God has to protect you.
And a lot of the times people feel like if they can bully you and change the perception people have about you, they feel like that will weigh you down and that will block you. And they feel like they'll have this leverage over you. But what you have to understand is people who are upright, people who are discerning, people who have integrity, they see someone being bullied or they hear something about someone and they want to see for themselves if it's true. Usually the people with integrity will love the person that's being bullied more.
