I believe Proverbs 15:1 sums up the whole situation pretty well. This is my opinion and how I feel if you don’t agree that is fine and if you do that is fine too. There is a lot of anger and hatred in the world today, some we bring upon ourselves and some we play no part in but never the less it’s all the same hatred and what I feel is how we deal with the hatred is what matters.
I try not to judge anyone and I believe everyone has a right to their opinions and I try to be friends with many fellow bloggers. I know I am not the only blogger to read many of the snide back-stabbing comments that some continue to write even though they say they want peace. Honestly I feel if you want peace, then you have to show it by your actions, I don’t believe you can just say I want peace and you will get peace. Many bloggers chose to write nasty comments about fellow bloggers including myself, I am not writing anything negative about fellow bloggers. That is how I choose to forgive, everyone is different and they forgive in their own way or they may choose not to forgive that is up to them and their right.
The Bible verses below are about kindness and how Christians should relate to one another and to people outside the church. Different bible translation was considered for a clearer English word translation.
1" A gentle answer deflects anger,
but harsh words make tempers flare."
Proverbs 15:1 New International Version Bible
27"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. 30Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31Do to others as you would have them do to you.
Luke 6:27-31 New International Version Bible
12 Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
Colossians 3:12 New International Version Bible
32 Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.
Ephesians 4:32 New International Version Bible
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 New International Version Bible
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
Matthew 22:38 NKJV Bible
