Tearing Other People Down Will Never Make You Happy

Life is not about tearing other people down. It is not about making other people feel terrible about themselves. It is not about bringing other people down, taking what belongs to them. It is not about thinking negative thoughts about other people.

Life is about loving people. It is about showing them the way. It is about accepting them for who they are, not for what they can do for you.

If you want to get ahead in your own life, tearing other people down won’t get you there.

If you want to be happy in your life, beating other people down won’t get you there.

If you want to get better at what you are doing, tearing other people down won’t do it for you. Instead, it will make you even weaker.

If you want other people to love you, to follow you, to accept you for who you are, don’t tear them down.

That is life! If you don’t love them, they won’t love you. If you don’t care about them, they won’t care about you.

Before you go, remember this: If you want to go far in your life, you have got to learn how to carry other people along. You have got to lift other people up. Why?

Because no one is good enough to know everything.

‘God’s Presence Can Sustain You’

No matter what is going on in your world, God is with you.

In his book Hope in the Dark: Believing God Is Good When Life Is Not, Craig Groeschel writes, ‘In your most desperate moments, God’s presence can sustain you. Just as resistance in the gym makes your muscles grow stronger, resistance in life strengthens your faith in God. Over time, as you grow in the grace of God, what normally would have rocked your world becomes something you can take in stride, knowing God is with you and will carry you when you are weak.’

When God is for you, you can handle anything. You can face your life. You can face your fears.

When the road ahead is dark, foggy, God is with you. When you do not know what to do, when you are confused, God will answer you.

‘… God is with you and will carry you when you are weak.’

When things are not working for you, God is working for you.

Yes, it is hard to believe in God when things are hard. But if you can ‘take your next step by faith’, if you can follow God, He will never let you down.

‘… if God makes you a promise, it will happen.’

What are you doing to receive it? According to Craig Groeschel, When God says something to you, record it, because your spiritual enemy is an expert at stealing the seeds of truth that God wants to plant.’
