In one of my previous jobs, I had to deal with difficult personalities. Sometimes, insensitive and derogatory remarks were directed at me. When I shared these experiences with my colleagues, they were angry for my sake. However, to my surprise, I did not feel hateful or angry. Instead, I was composed and continued to do what I needed to do at work. I treasure that I have the Lord, He causes my heart to be calm and without hate even in such challenging situations. I believe I wouldn’t have been able to be calm and without negative feelings if I had not experienced God’s love.

This is a short poem I wrote after the experience:

Lord,
With You, I am not afraid
With You, I am not worried
With You, I am not angry
Because I have You by my side.
