Sometimes it’s hard to see the beauty of the soul in the difficult people in our lives. We all encounter people whom we have a hard time getting along with. We can recognize that our energies just don’t go well together or that we feel drained after spending some time with them.
In some cases we can keep our distance from these types of people, but In other cases we have to learn to live with them. Sometimes we have a hard time recognizing when we’re being judgmental of others, but as we try to become more aware of our thoughts, feelings or emotions we can take some time to see where our judgements are coming from and why we feel the way we do sometimes.
The truth is, that we never really know what the other person is truly feeling or what situations they may be going through or have had to go through in their lives. When we judge others this depletes our own energy and takes away our power. If we want to keep good, loving, positive energy within us, then we must learn to see ourselves and others with more compassion.
The word Namaste has a beautiful meaning. It’s a greeting which means; “The divinity within me bows to the divinity within you.” This is a beautiful meaning. If we were to practice viewing all of us with spiritual eyes we would see people differently. We would be better able to focus on seeing the divinity of each other soul way more clearly. We would be able to focus on seeing ourselves and each more in the way that God sees each one of us. ❤️
All of us are here to learn, grow and develop. We’re here to gain experiences and to learn from the good and the bad that we go through. The Buddhist have a saying that difficult people become the yeast to our bread. So, let’s allow ourselves to grow from what they teach us. We can become more patient, forgiving, kind and empathetic. Allowing ourselves to grow instead of being affected by the things that others do and the things we can’t control.
If we can learn to focus on what’s in our circle of control. Our emotions and reactions and to be humble, patient, and allow Gods divine light to guide us throughout our lives. We will be better able to handle all of the different types of people we will encounter throughout our life. Even to the point of being able to follow one of the most important teachings that Christ has given us.When he says; “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you” (Matthew 5:43–44).
God asks us to do this because He knows we’re capable of loving, forgiving and even reaching a point of being kind and loving toward our enemies. It seems super hard to do. But with Gods help and guidance He will show us where to focus our energies to heal our hearts to be able to accomplish this.
James 4: 10-12 says:
- Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
- Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
- There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
Wow! This scripture teaches us that we are not the ones to Judge. There’s only one judge and we have to leave the judgment up to our God. The father of our souls who knows what’s in our hearts. He knows we’re trying to be better and He will lovingly help us to become less judgmental and focus more instead on filling ourselves up with Gratitude for what He gives us daily and to fill ourselves with love for ourselves and others as we take it one day at a time.
When I was thinking about how we can stop judging, I thought about the 4 things that can help us to heal.
1. PRAY: God wants us to free our hearts and minds form carrying those negative feelings and emotions with us. He wants to help us heal! If we believe in His power and have Faith that we will help us, He will show us the way to turn our weaknesses Into strengthens. As we keep a prayer in our heart we will be guided to know what to do and how to react.
2. EYES TO SEE: As we practice having eyes to see the divine light within each person. Our eyes will be able to focus on the good within ourselves and others. Mathew 6:22-23 says The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness?…We must see with our eyes all of the good in others so that inside us we may be full of light. Let’s use our eyes to see passed the physical or the actions of others and instead try to see the soul that is inside each one of us. The person that God sees and the potential that He or she has in His eyes. God sees the potential in all of us. We can try to do the same for ourselves and others.
#3 BRIDLE OUR TONGUES: Meaning that we’re able to control what comes out of our mouths. Instead of gossiping or judging others we try to see the good in others. We’re better able to use our words to be more positive, uplifting and edifying. Not only with others but also with ourselves. We deserve to speak kindly and in uplifting ways to ourselves. Lets make it a goal for us to use our words to help us extend love and compassion to ourselves and to others as well.
& Finally # 4: TAKE CARE OF WHAT’S IN YOUR HEART. Our heart is the place where we will either hold on to things or let them go. Everything depends on what we CHOOSE to keep or let go off but when we see the good in others we will begin to experiment a change in our hearts. We will be better able to live ourselves and have a heart that is willing to release the negative and hole in the the good, the peace and the light m.
James 3: 14-18 Says:
14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly and devilish.
16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
Let’s choose to allow our hearts to be full of peace, gentleness, mercy, and everything that comes from God and that is good for us. Allowing the evil to leave our hearts and rejoice instead on keeping the good within us.
As we make it a point to use our eyes to see the divine light in others and use our tongues to speak words that are kind, uplifting and peaceful then our hearts will be fully changed and fully able to see with love the beauty of the souls around us. Once we choose to work on changing one of these, the rest will follow until we are full of the light of God within us. We must protect this light and allow our choices thoughts and decisions to come from this light. I hope that this message allows us to bring new insights and awareness of what we need to let go of and what we need to hola on to instead. As we learn to have a desire to change some things within ourselves God will provide us with the wisdom and guidance on how to do this. So that we may reach the potential that we have as sons and daughters of God.

Our physical goal for the week is exercise at least 2 days this week. thats the minimum 🙂 if you can do more that would be great! go for a walk or do something that feels good and it’s therapeutic.
Our goal for the week is to see the beauty of each soul. To treat others as we would want to be treated. To check our eyes for what we’re seeing in others, our tongues for what we’re speaking and our hearts for what we’re holding in to. Make today positive, peaceful, and a day full of light. You’re in control ❤️
