Doormats, Pushovers, and Kindness – What do these three things have in common? – Part 3
There have been times in my life where it has been said that I have been too nice. Is that even a possibility really? I have heard that you should not be a doormat. But doormats say “Welcome”, what is wrong with that? And people may say you should not be a pushover or let people walk all over you, but what does the Bible say about all of this? This week we will talk about what this all means using the Bible as the go to reference book of choice….cont’d.
Last, the problem today maybe, and I know it has been in my own life, the hardening of hearts. When we meet obstacles and trials, without knowing someone “Higher” is watching over us, we start to put up walls and barriers of defence that we think will protect us in the long run. The problem lays in the fact that sometimes those barriers stop us from seeing or allowing more good things into our lives as well. This is where putting our trust in Christ and God for protection comes in. Allowing those walls to fall and building back up on a proper foundation, in Christ, will guarantee an eternal reward!
