Bless those who persecute you. Don’t curse them; pray that God will bless them. ROMANS 12:14

Human nature retaliates. If someone wrongs us, we want revenge.

But children of God, who have the love of God in their hearts, should act differently
Just as Jesus was mistreated, we will not avoid being mistreated in this life.

Yet in all this, we can rejoice, knowing that God our Father is just, and He will protect us and reward us for doing His will.
