Been Hurt? Is Retaliation The Answer?



Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. 1 Corinthians 11:1 NIV, Bible Gateway

Are you a sensitive person and if so, are you bothered when you get snubbed, blocked on social media, shunned by long time friends? 

You are never to repay evil or ugliness to someone or wish them calamity. God’s love is to be your marching orders at all times regardless of how others treat you. Think of how Jesus was mocked, scorned, ridiculed, misunderstood, spat upon, beaten, gossiped about. He never once tried to hurt any of his enemies or accusers. 

Until everyone fully embraces Jesus and not religion, ugliness will continue. Many ‘church’ people can be some of the very ones that are mean and vindictive. You can name the name of a church you attend or denomination but that alone does not mean you ‘know Christ’ or that He has prepared a place in Heaven for you. Study the word and let go of any meanness you may be harboring. The truth indeed will set you free. 

PRAYER: Easter has come and gone, a time thousands more attend church mostly from obligation and not real desire. I pray for anyone I may know who embraces a denomination or says they go to such and such church but really has had no true life change. Help use me to guide others to you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
