And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness...
Genesis 1:26 KJV


"Ang hirap maging mabait... Haha!" I remembered a friend saying this as she strives to do her best at work, moving away from her normal routine.

But being "mabait" is how we ought to be. It is our design. We are created in God's likeness.

The ways of the world have been changing who we truly are. We feel that it is our normal function - to get angry when someone provokes us, to take revenge when someone hurts us, to cheat, to get even, to take advantage, etc.

But we are not created to do those things. We are made to be kind, wise, excellent, forgiving, faithful, fair, just, good, gentle, loving and righteous like our creator.

So it's not so hard to be kind, because it is who we really are. We may find it difficult to do at first because we got so used to do those as the world had influenced us but always go back to your original design, the original you.
