Matthew Five Thirty Nine

It says, "...not to resist an evil person." that means let the evil do freely so; though the bad may come by the dozen keep quiet, let your head be bowed so low. It says, "...turn the other cheek." that means let the bad hit again; it's difficult, and i know it smells and reeks trust the Lord to fill the blame. Sadly, these are things a Christian gets though thou may love thy neighbour; these are purification and lots of tests keep forgiving, the wrong do not harbour. Keep thy focus on the Lord pray for deliverance, pray for help; He is Faithful, the Son of God the Devil beaten, all has He dealt. This journey is fraught with untold bends how long it lasts, only He knows best; it's like a match that doesn't end keep prayers near, God does the rest. Till the day the Lord shall come in His Words keep close to heart; when all is new, His Kingdom come God with us, to never part. * Matthew 5: 38-39 states: verse 38: You have heard that it was said, "an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth." verse 39: But i tell you, not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on the right cheek, turn the other to him also. Amen.

Alfred, don't give up. maybe i can help you; start by forgiving others, don't keep their wrongs, then the Lord will forgive your sins too. God said, "...all have fallen short." no one is perfect; just walk the Christian "walk", and pray for thy journey. take care, God bless.

no matter who we are, no matter where we are, a Christian will have to carry his cross; if the Lord wasn't spared torture; mental, physical or spiritual, what more we as His. do not be too engulfed with the sad; seek joy, seek peace (fruits of the Spirit) and focus on Him, always. cheers!
