“Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: so shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man” Proverbs 3:3-4
To find favour with God and man, there are so many requirements one must go through as a Christian. I mean, there are rules you need to follow. Christianity is not just about accepting Christ as your Lord and personal saviour.
For you to grow strong and remain strong as a Christian, you must sustain your daily fellowship with God through praying in the Holy Ghost, reading the Bible, praising & worshipping God, attending church services, and of course living in the image of God every day.
And the above verse strongly refers to you not forgetting ‘mercy and truth’ in whatever you do.
Mercy in this context means forgiveness and compassion. You may have been hurt, messed with, or wronged by any one; the Bible says you must forgive. If you don’t forgive, then you are not a true Christian. Jesus forgives. God forgives and of course, the Holy Ghost forgives. So why won’t you?

Christianity means ‘Christ-like,’ which is having the real image of Christ. So if you call yourself a Christian, that is a Christ-like fellow then you have no choice than to live by the Word of God.
So you have to forgive. It may be hard for you but this is where you need the Holy Ghost of God to come in and help you. Just go to Him in prayer and tell him to assist you with your emotions so that you will be lifted off the burden of pain and learn to forgive and forget anyone who might have hurt you.
Truth is equally mentioned in the verse. Being honest, and stand for God is very important. Let others in your office see Christ in you. That you are fond of a colleague does not mean you should join him or her to lie or cover up something.
Wherever you are, whatever you do or whoever you are with; let your YES be your YES and not a lie. Never pack up lies upon lies in order to create that beautiful life for you. It does not pay.
Live for Christ, and you will find favour with God and man.
Peace!
