One of the hardest things to do for most people is to TURN THE OTHER CHEEK!!! When someone deliberately tries to HURT YOU.. DAMAGE YOUR CHARACTER or JUST LIE ON YOU, your NATURAL REACTION may be to shield your emotions and strike back VERBALLY and PHYSICALLY!!! We have to learn how to ACT and not REACT!!! We have to PRAY for that PERSON and PRAY for their FORGIVENESS, but MOST of all, pray for YOURSELF so that those who HURT you won't CHANGE YOU!!! Pray for YOURSELF that God will help you relinquish ANGER.. RESENTMENT.. PRIDE!!! Keep in mind, even when people HURT YOU, God uses you in ways you LEAST EXPECT IT!!! The next time someone tests your PATIENCE by HURTING you, stay in your CHRISTIAN character!!! Love you and mean it
