It's so easy, when being punked on or made fun of, to retaliate with some sort of insult (funny or not). But one thing I've been convicted to do is to love on my brothers and sisters. Some people would call it being "weak" or being a "push over," and in many sense that may be quite the truth. But if I won't serve my fellow brothers in Christ and encourage them with loving words, why in the world would I do that to those who have yet to receive the gospel?
I will admit, it's been tough. I've been learning how to bite my tongue, and in times of frustration just learning to give it up to the Lord. It definitely is a work in progress, but God has blessed me with much patience and strength.
God is good.
