“But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also” Matthew 5:39

This one speaks to me more than any other, despite the idea that this implies meekness, to me it never did.

To me it always said,

"The best you have is not good enough to break me. Is that the best you got?"

@Jack - Thanks! Awesome scripture. I know that I fail at this when I feel the need to tell someone about how I was unfairly treated. Will I ever learn?

@PEImom - Same here. Same here. smile

When you forgive,you heal. When you let go,you grow. When you cry to God, you surrender. When you love unconditionally, you show others Christ's love.

@Lorie - I wish that I could really hear God speak to me directly. I know He does through His word and to my heart but I wish I could hear His voice talk to me and guide my every step. At one time, I didn't want anyone to tell me what to do or how to do it and now I wish He would replace my will with His.

@mmf - I do hear God say the word 'Patience' to me! When I pray or just quietly be in his presence, that is the word I hear. I take it as the Lord trying to teach me patience. But I also take it as living my life as he would want me to live it, following his rules and will. So, I just try to live my life that wait, and learn patience on the way. smirk

Didn't you leave a word off the end?

Oh wait, I forget, you're a moderator now and have to behave ...

2 Corinthians 1:12 GWT

We are proud that our conscience is clear. We are proud of the way that we have lived in this world. We have lived with a God-given holiness and sincerity, especially toward you. It was not by human wisdom that we have lived but by God’s kindness.
