So recently many messages in church have been revolving around WALKING WORTHY OF THE LORD.
Just wanted to share one: Loving your enemies!
Firstly, instead of cursing our enemies, we should bless them!
Instead of hating them, we should DO GOOD unto them!
Like instead of gossiping and saying bad stuff about people we don't like, we should try to see how we can help them and uplift them.
Definitely, we have to pray as well, asking God to help us do the best we can~
God is our prime example in loving our enemies (think when he prayed for the soldiers who nailed Him to the cross)
And we should striveeee to reach His perfection.
Secondly, when we are put into an argument, let us be meek,
And allow the other person to "smite our other cheek" and "take our cloak also".
Go the extra mile carrying the other person's bag!
That being said, we are not meant to be doormats!!!
(If someone is trying to get you in trouble with the law, you have citizenship rights to stand up for yourself!)
Christians are not meant to be pushed over.
Christians are meant to be the salt of the world, to be unique people in a good way.
"In the world, but not of the world"
Instead of doormats, be doorways.
Open up Christianity to people through your conduct!
