1 Peter 2:25 When they hurled insults at him he did not retaliate;when he suffered,he made no threats.Instead he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.Some of us have gone through a tough time because of something that was said to us and that broke our hearts and made us loose hope and trust even in those we considered friends or a loved one.Our normal reaction as human beings is always to retaliate and seek to justify ourself and very rarely will you find yourself just letting it go and trusting God.Jesus our Lord before he was crucified went through insults upon insults and it would have been easy for him being the son of God and all power entrusted to him he would have done what was neccesary but out of humility and reverance to the Father no insult or deceit was ever found in him,he never sought to justify himself before man because he knew his standing with the Father and also he knew that it was the Father's desire for him to face persecution in body,mind and also in spirit he still held on to the will of God and we as his children and followers of him God has given us the same spirit of his son Jesus christ to endure and persevere and entrust ourselves to him even when the seat gets hot and hotter.The devil will always want us to be discouraged when alot has been said about us that is untrue and his desire is to bring contention and cause us not to trust what the word of God says and to have us walk with our heads bowed down in shame and discouragement hence causing a bitter root to start growing within us but as a child of God who knows the Father's word and the Father's will and the father's love,God will cause the voice of the enemy to grow faint and the voice of Jesus to sweetly and gently confirm to you that no weapon fashioned against you will prosper and as you trust him he will help you and remind you that you are not alone and he is always there with you to help you in whatever you are going through,We servants and children of God will always have to face persecution be it physical,spiritual and emotional but your response is what matters will you trust God or will you cave in to fear.Therefore with that said and done no matter what has been uttered against us in words or somebody's actions let us ask God to help us not to curse men with our tongues but rather to bless them and leave the rest to God,you may find yourself seeking to justify yourself and wanting to prove your innocence but remember what Jesus went through and if you are going through the same do what Jesus would do.I love you all and be abundantly and exceedingly blessed thank you for taking your time to read.This week when insulted don't seek to retaliate and add fire to fire there will only be an inferno but seek to bless for out of your tongue comes blessings or curse and with your tongue and lips you create your environment so its upto you to create the kind of environment you desire.Salem
