What...are you kidding...???!!! Is God's Word saying that when someone has deliberately hurt us, we should...Bless Them?!?! Indeed, that is what His Word says and admittedly, this is not easy to do at all. But it can be done for His Word does say..."I can do all things through CHRIST...which strengthens me". Let's take a moment and look at His Word closely, as I am sharing a personal experience and I KNOW it is not easy to do. However, if you have the love of Jesus in your heart, you won't be able to do anything else. His Spirit that abides within you will not allow you to retaliate...and guess what? I found that the more I Blessed them...the better I felt. God knows our limitations and our abilities and He would never ask us to do something that wasn't possible to do. So consider....

*God is not saying* *to trust them...* *but,* *yes...you must...Bless them!* *Don't you dare cause alarm* *or inflict cursed...harm* *For, good or bad they are...His* *and you well know...how it is...* *One doesn't bestow a...blow* *on other peoples children, so...* *No matter how hard, do what's right* *resist the inward urge to...venge fight* *Tell our Father about that wayward sibling* *and let Him take care of His offspring* *Thus, do your best fo follow God's...gem* *and no matter how difficult...Bless them!* Rom 12: 14-21 copyright; jmsbell/2/15/2010(edited 8/2019)**

I agree with this premise. I have always hated conflict. Forgiveness is the way to go. Love and blessings,

In Spain they say, "a Dios rezando y con el mazo dando" which we could translate to a 2010 American understanding as, "praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!"

I agree with this. I found long ago not to allow someone to take my love and peace from me. You don't have to like someone, you don't have to eat dinner with them, you don't have to call someone friend, but you must love your fellow human being. Love is an inner thing, a part of the soul, it can only come from God. Thank you, Joyce. Bless those who do no harm, pray for those who do.

Beautifully said, Joyce. And you are 100% correct. God bless.
