Matthew 5:38-39
You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth. But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.

have you ever read those police notices?
or had some policeman come down to your school to warn you about stuff?
Have you heard what they say to do if you're being mugged or attacked?
They tell you that if no helped can be reached, don't fight back, sometimes its smarter to give in.

what this verse tells us is not to spite the person, by being sarcastic. Its telling us that sometimes people do things in anger that you've got to let slide. Sometimes its the smart, the right thing to do to let them let out their anger. Because emotions cloud clear minds, making them do stupid things.

tolerance, patience, forgiveness. Virtues, not impossibilities.

Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."

intro
There's so much about life that I don't know about yet, and there's so much that God teaches me as I walk with Him everyday. This is where I record what I learn, my reflections on His revelations. My hope is that through the words you read, you hear His voice, not mine. And if it puts a smile on your face, that's an added bonus
