Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.Ephesians 4:31-32
Many people may lash out when under stress for something else but if a person close to you ridicules you or pokes fun at you that is uncool. The saying goes hurting people hurt people so what if you are on the receiving end of being beat up with words and worse yet the other person sees nothing they said as wrong.
Birth order has much to do about how you react to things. Also if a person was abused as a child or hurt with words they may be programmed to not realize they are wrong. Your job is to not sling words and accusations back but to remain calm and non combative. Only through the love of Jesus will this behavior be squelched.
PRAYER: Father I give you my day and all people I will encounter today. Help me be kind and loving even when strangers or people I know are rude to me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
