Fighting Back
“…love your enemies. Pray for those who hurt you.” - Matthew 5v44

If someone punches you’ll probably want to punch them back! If someone disrespects you or your family – then your first reaction is normally to do something back to them!

The problem is that hurting those who hurt us only makes us feel better for a very short time! Often it only makes things worse. Loads of friendships and families have been totally wrecked that way. Jesus’ message could change your life and the lives of everybody around you – He said that loving your enemies and praying for those who hurt you is the best way!

Think how different your home, your street and your school would be if everyone chose to forgive rather than fighting back! Think how rare punches, curses and tears would be!

The best way to fight back is to love and pray for your enemies! That’s God’s way!!!

Ask Him to help you live like that!
