VERSE OF THE WEEK
See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. – 1 Thessalonians 5:15
Doing Good
It is tempting to react against those whose values oppose your own. In the human tendency to defend those things you hold dear, you could respond with anger and indignation. The natural inclination may be to judge and seek vengeance rather than engage with gentleness. On occasion, you may have to fight the urge to retaliate with sharp words, keeping the love of God and the kindness of the Savior in front of your mind. Jesus and Paul both said to love your enemies and to pray for those who persecute you. When you have the opportunity, press in to the lessons of Scripture and avoid the urge to be anything but loving and good. Your actions and behavior will then bring the Lord honor and glory!
