Greetings sisters!
I hope you are well today and striving on in the faith and truth!
I'm sharing some scriptures of how we are to relate to other people especially when dealing with situations that may be challenging. It's just good to ponder the characteristics and qualities and reactions we should have. We shouldn't be at all like someone people need to be careful of offending or fragile and certainly not getting angry at them at the slightest thing or really ever. This is of the flesh and not the Spirit. It's God's job to be angry at sin and unbelievers. We surely are to have zeal for the Lord and abhoring all evil but we are not the avengers. God is. It's just good to ponder and examine our lives. I think of a rubber band that can be stretched a very long way as how we should be rather than something fragile and easily broken. And it may be easy to say when things are going well but what about how we may react when faced with the greatest evil against us? May the Lord help us. When it's hard is the true test of our faith I believe. It is in many areas really. Our Saviour Himself also was a good example in this! So I will share some of His Word by which we live though there are many more. May we strive to walk worthy of our holy calling as His daughters!

We are to live at peace...
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.Romans 12:18
We are to be merciful...
Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.Luke 6:36
We are to love...

We are to forgive...
And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.Mark 11:25-26
And I'm sure there's many more scriptures and qualities we are to have too that are related. We have so very much good guidance the Lord gave us! We are without excuse. Indeed these are His cammands and will for us. Let us obey them for His glory and our good.
Hold fast to all truth sisters! Love to you in His name. He first loved us! Glory to His name alone!
