Loving Them Anyway

We have all been faced with others trying to bring us down, trying to hurt us or just plain old not wanting to see us happy and is all for no reason. They try everything they can to try and push our buttons and bring out the worse in us as it is them who is fighting with themselves. It’s difficult and hurtful to try and understand, but by not retaliating or coming down to their level you not only just won but you allow them the opportunity to take a look at themselves - which is what they’re trying not to do. When you return the hate, you lose! Again all very hard, very very hard : ) It takes strength to endure as this is something you can be faced with every day. What I try to do and remember (as I was so graciously reminded of by my husband) is to remember the grace Christ carried with him when all were hating on him, similarly that’s what we have to do. Think of how you will look when you come out of this and think of what they will get in return! There is no other retaliation like the lords so try and love anyway ...Have a beautiful day!!!
