~**YOU ARE THE BOSS**~ Colossians 4:1 - Bosses, grant to your workers justice and fairness, knowing that you too have a Master in heaven. The way you treat others is the way you will be treated. But be careful not to mistreat others because you have been mistreated! There is a spiritual pattern there. If you have been hurt, neglected, misused, mistreated, etc. be careful, because it is very easy for that spirit to manifest itself in you. If it does, you will begin to treat others with the same unfairness that you have experienced and you may not even know it. Be fair in how you deal with others. Especially if you are over people on your job, in your home, or in the church of God. We should never take our position that we have over someone and use it for an occasion to unjustly lord over a person and mistreat them because of our emotional state. God wants us to use our position that we have over someone to serve them. You are the boss or in charge already and your position has power without you giving it power. There are even corrupt people in positions that God still works through because the position has power, not the person. King Saul was evil, but God warned David not to touch him because he was anointed, or in other words, the position that he had needed to be respected. Your position over people has power already. So it is not necessary to exercise your power over people and abuse it just to work out your own insecurities and issues. No matter how you have been mistreated or what you are dealing with, you can counteract it by showing love, kindness, and fairness to those that you are responsible for. You see, Jesus taught us to repay evil with kindness and we should never take out our pain on people. You may not like a person, or feel that certain people dont deserve your kindness, but you have no idea how they got that way, or whether or not they are dealing with the same things you are facing. So, that makes it our responsibility to show Gods love to them at all costs. Remember, you reap what you sow and sowing the right things can cause you to reap your way out of your present state. GOD BLESS! Suggested reading: Romans 13:10, Romans 15:2, James 2:8.
