Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.Ephesians 4:32
Oh if everyone could just take a chill pill and be nice to each another. But in this world we have evil, tribulation, different personalities and thus things aren’t always ‘peachy’.
There is a scripture that says to be kind to your enemies(see Matthew 5) and to overcome evil with good(Romans 12:21) and indeed all of us that name the name of Jesus should be trying to do that and to diffuse hate with love. This means ignoring the urge to share your point of view in an online political debate. There are no winners. The bigger person stays still and quiet and let’s God that take care of stuff.
Why not delight yourself in the goodness and glory of the Lord and ask yourself if your actions, posts, and words draw people closer to Jesus or keep them away.
PRAYER: It is so tempting to be ugly, condescending, judgmental, and hateful so I pray any brother or sister in Christ reading this might look to the Lord for strength to be still and not agitate or try to prove things to others. Help me Lord to try to bring people closer to you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
