A kind and gentle response to someone’s sarcastic, rude or angry attitude is NOT weakness. It’s great strength. It’s easy to react with the same escalating behavior - that’s our human nature. It’s much more difficult to stay calm and show the love of Christ. It doesn’t matter if the person is a stranger or a friend or family member, even if they are being unreasonable, Jesus taught us how to handle it:
“Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. And do everything with love.” 1 Corinthians 16:13-14
Love, kindness and forgiveness are the work of a Christian. #theywillknowusbyourlove #loveoneanother #bekind #forgiveness #discipleship #dailydevotional #yourjourneytobeingwhole #shalom
