henzy brother just borrowed me a book. and i read it like quite immediately after i reached home.
there was this chapter about getting even. when we are being mistreated, need not be in a very serious case or getting abused, but just small little things like, getting picked on in school or even at home, when parents are bias, how do we react? do we try to GET EVEN like what the title states? or do we still thank God that He is with us even thought we are faced with persecutions and going through the toughest times in our lives?
when God is with us, nothing can be against us. :D and this chapter of the book really encouraged me! because i know a God who is faithful and loving and forgiving. so i want to be just like Jesus, to be able to love, have faith, and be forgiving to people who have delibrately mistreated me or maybe not on purpose but people whom i thought have mistreated me.
Jesus was being mistreated too, but He chose to forgive even when He was hanging on the cross. (: i think my greatest blessing for these past few years as a christian is that God has always been faithful to me. even when i lost hope, He never gave up on me. and i want to hold on so closely and tightly to this relationship with God. i'll never let it go! :D
when God is on our side, we will NEVER have to fight the battle alone! God has promised us that when trouble arise, He will defend us! but at the same time, let us also come before God with a broken and contrite heart, cry out to Him, and give Him praise.
let this be my prayer for now:
Lord, i know that people sometimes act without thinking. But, Lord, even when they do delibrately mistreat me, i want to ALWAYS be WILLING to forgive - just like Jesus.
AMEN.
