Heaping Hot Coals: Loving Those You’d Rather Hate

I hope this will inspire you

You can’t always stop people from hating you, but you don’t have to hate them back. You can’t always make people love you, but you can always love them back.

“If it is possible, live at peace with everyone.” I like this statement because it strikes me as utterly realistic. In a fallen world, it isn’t always possible to live at peace with everyone. Sometimes despite our best efforts, we’ll just rub people the wrong way. Sometimes you are thrown into a situation at school or at work with people who are Grade A, Board-Certified, 100% Jerks! And you can’t do anything about it. Such people don’t want peace, they want to make trouble.

God gave us the principle that we call the Golden Rule. It goes like this: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” (Matthew 7:12 KJV). Treat people as you would like to be treated. Speak to them as you would like to be spoken to. Grant them the honor that you wish they would grant to you. Give them the respect you desire for yourself. Offer them the kindness that you wish they would offer you.

This has many practical applications. It touches how we dress and act, the way we treat others in public, it involves things like common courtesy, honesty at work, and having a cheerful heart. The principle is: Live in such a way that no one can make an honest accusation against you. Live so that if they are going to accuse you, they have to tell a lie to do it.

Getting even doesn’t work. What happens when you try to get even? You unleash this whole cycle of retribution and violence. It never ends because someone else always wants to get the last word.

Because there is better way to get even

“On the contrary, ‘if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.’” This is one of the most unusual verses in the New Testament. What does Paul mean when he talks about heaping hot coals on your enemy’s head?

The command is, “If your enemy is hungry, give him food. If he is thirsty, give him water to drink.” Needless to say, this flies in the face of common sense. You shoot enemies, you don’t feed them. After all, if you start feeding your enemies, they will just get stronger and stronger and then they will attack you. As a matter of fact, that’s true. They might do that. But it doesn’t matter. You are to feed them anyway. That is to say, You are to act contrary to your natural tendencies when your enemies are involved.

There is a very practical reason behind Paul’s advice. You may win the battle, you may even get the last word or strike the last blow, but in the end, you’ve destroyed your own spiritual life. In the process of hurting another person, you’ve hurt yourself too. Anger has done its dirty work on the inside. You seethe with malice, rage, hurtful feelings, and horrible thoughts that keep you up late at nigiht. That’s one reason why many people are sick today. They aren’t sick because of some bug or strange virus. No, their soul is sick and as a result their body is sick. The list is long, but it includes high blood pressure, heart problems, back problems, tension headaches, nightmares, ulcers, stomach problems, weight problems, blurred vision, a stiff neck, and insomnia.

One other thing: When you try to get even, evil destroys you because the other person keeps on winning. He still controls your life as long as you want revenge. Think about that. The only way to get free of your past is to let it go once and for all. But if you want to get even, you’re still chained to the past. To make matters worse, he’s probably sleeping like a baby while you are up half the night thinking of terrible things you like to do to him. He’s won twice–once when he hurt you, and twice because you’re still thinking about getting even with him. No wonder he’s smiling. And no wonder you’re not.:)

However, not common items that are often found in flea markets are sold in Internet auction sites, thus affecting the prices in the global marketing industry. Buyers and sellers both research at prices of certain products and services on the website before going to flea markets.

Internet Marketing: Its Benefits and Effects on Industries

        In a fast-paced society, everything has to be done in an instant. Everything costs more. Everything moves faster. The good thing is that we can have anything we want in just one click. We have the different technological advances right within our reach – time efficient and cost effective- which make our way of life more convenient. All of these realities of modern society have been in the name of progress. One of the most popular, most obvious technological advances at present is the Internet, which provides the users convenience from entertainment to education and from personal concerns to business matters. Indeed, the Internet introduces many unique benefits to marketing including low costs in distributing information and media to a global audience. Internet marketing, as of 2007, is growing faster than other types of media. Since exposure, response and overall efficiency of Internet media is easier to track than traditional “off-line” media, through the use of web analytics for instance, Internet marketing can offer a greater sense of accountability for advertisers. Increasingly, however, marketers and their clients are becoming aware of the need to measure the collaborative effects of marketing, that is, how the Internet affects in-store sales.

 

        One of the benefits associated with Internet marketing is the availability of great amounts of information. Compared to traditional media, such as print, radio and TV, Internet marketing can have a relatively low cost of entry. Consumers can access the Internet and research products, as well as purchase them at any hour of any day. Companies that use Internet marketing can also save money because of a reduced need for a sales force. Overall, Internet marketing can help a business’ expansion from a local market to a national or international one, faster. It continues to grow in its importance as most companies have been making substantial commitments to add Internet marketing to their marketing mix. Other benefits are measurability, flexibility, and affordability . Internet marketing has over other traditional marketing outlets, and these benefits are especially attractive to home based businesses.

 

        The effect on the ad industry itself has been profound. Internet marketing has had a large impact on several industries including music, banking, and flea markets, as well as the advertising industry itself. As Advertisers increase and shift more of their budgets online, it is now overtaking radio in terms of market share. In the music industry, many consumers have begun buying and downloading music files (e.g. MP3s) over the Internet in addition to buying CDs. Unique items that could previously be found at flea markets are being sold on eBay instead. eBay has also affected the prices in the industry. Buyers and sellers often look at prices on the website before going to flea markets and the eBay price often becomes what the item is sold for. More and more flea market sellers are putting their items up for sale online and running their business out of their homes.

 

        Internet Marketing, however, requires customers to use newer technologies than traditional media, the reason why not all people may get the message. Low speed Internet connections are one barrier. If companies build overly large or complicated web pages, some Internet users struggle to download the information on dial up connections or mobile devices. From the buyer’s perspective, another limitation is the inability of shoppers to touch, smell, taste or try-on tangible goods before making an online purchase. However, it is an industry standard for e-commerce vendors to have liberal return policies and in store pick up services to reassure customers.
