[quote:Anonymous Coward 378573:MV81NDQ4MDFfODM2MzIwOV9BQjY3MEU1Mw==] Again, it depends on how it's done. It's hard to determine without knowing or observing you. As far as what comes around goes around - I can tell you that's true. It EVENTUALLY will. One thing to keep in mind - Jesus was no pansy. There is such a thing as righteous anger, and it is good and okay to carry oneself like a man. Just stay in prayer and the Word. Pray before you get in the Word...like a lot. Make sure you're really walking in the Spirit. This will do a few things: 1. Keep you focused on what's important - God and others and the kingdom. 2. Refine your behavior to match correct priorities 3. Possibly change the spirit of your actions - which will inevitably cause people to notice and change the spirit of their actions around you. 4. Give you peace because of your more "in tune" relationship with God. Also, if you are surrounded by people that are unkind to you...that's something you should look at critically. Is it a "them" issue or a "you" issue or just the situation. The only reason this matters (not for throwing a self-pity party) is that it affects the way you pray about the matter. Do you need to have your heart changed, or do these people need revelation or both...that sort of thing. Definitely pray for the people who are giving you the blues. [/quote]
Original Message
Has anyone found that turning the other cheek and being "nice" actually worked for you?
Or do you just end up getting stepped on and used as a doormat?
It hasn't worked for me.
