…..someone else throws an insult your way. It could be in the form of a verbal attack or simply another insult. How should we respond? Returning an insult is probably only going to encourage more ridicule. Thoughts result from one of two inputs – through our feelings/emotions or through information and reason. I think we all know which makes more sense for a response. We all have more than one enemy through no fault of our own. It’s their problem but it doesn’t make it any easier. They will lie, cheat and hope for your failure. The reasons are many but could include jealousy and greed. They may feel inferior to you and try to make up for that by telling fanciful stories about us. Rather than take it out on them, just smile and walk away – and then give it to God. He will show us how to be better than our enemies. When they see that they are no longer having any impact on us, they will move on to a different, easier target.
