How do you respond to hate? How do you respond to hurt and to pain? How do you respond to negativity? How do YOU respond? Sometimes it is easy to see the response of others but we need to be able to see our own response.
Do you respond to hate with love? Do you respond to hurt and pain with love? Do you respond to negativity with love? Understand, no matter what situation we find ourselves in, our response should always be a love response. We must always remember that God is love and He should be seen at the forefront of all we do and all we say.
This is where we have to make sure we are responding instead of reacting. When someone or something hurts you, it's easy to react based on your own emotions but we have to get to a place where we respond based on God's Word. Don't allow hatred, hurt, pain, or negativity to cause you to forget that You have been called by God to represent Him in the earth. People look at you and they also look to you. Your response carries an affect. It helps other see through the lens of your life what it means to live for God despite the afflictions you encounter in the world because God sees and knows all the afflictions you go through and He hears your cry.
