There is a higher life in Christ for everyone, where you don't look at people according to what they said or did to you, but the way God sees them.
All you just have to do is live above them. You look at them according to who they really are. Jesus Christ bought them with a special price and you look at them from that perspective and love them, because God loves them.
You should never in your life treat people the way they treated you in the past, never look at people and regard them the same way they regarded you. No, live a higher life than they did.
That is the only way you can pull them up too to your standard, but if you stoop down and say because they talked to me like this, I would rather talk the same to them and it means you'll rather go down, instead of living the higher life, then you are bringing damnation upon yourself by going down with them.
Do not go down, stay up. It may seem a difficult thing to do. How much will it cost you to live the right life that you need to live. Living rightly brings fulfillment and peace of mind. Knowing that you are right with God.
Refuse to be bitter about someone who should have helped you but did not. That your uncle or cousin should not be your enemy because you asked him for money and he refused at the time.
You say look at my condition, looking at your condition is not why you should not live right. Besides, it's not someone that caused it. You don't even need to worry about who caused it, think about the one who can take it away and change your situation for good. His name is Jesus, He said in Mark 9:23 "all things are possible to him that believeth".
Make up your mind to always walk in love, to see others the way God sees them. Why should you think that brother dislikes you, or that sister said something evil against you, its because they really do not know the real you, because if they knew who you really are, they wouldn't talk evil about you. You are God's best, made in His image and likeness.
So forgive them whatever wrong they might have done to you, why? Because they are so shortsighted, they do not know anything about you. If they really knew your heart, they wouldn't think about you the way they do.
Can you see why you must forgive them? Because they are not God, they don't know how wonderful you really are on the inside, that is the fact. Some people even called you a wicked fellow, whereas you were the only person willing to help them, still they do not know. And now you have become angry with yourself or them too, No! Don't stoop down to their low level, remain that wonderful person you've always been, and continually cover them with the umbrella of love and kindness.
That is one way to overcome worries and frustrations in life, to free yourself from bitterness and anger, because these two are heavy diseases that can deprive a man of long life. They eat many people up like cancer without their knowing.
Choose to live right by God's standard.
God bless you.
