Just let it happen =)

Don't mind the title... 

Matthew 5:39- But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.

 Yeah, you guys are probably wondering why I'm posting this, especially me of all people. Well I'm here to tell you that i want to take this verse to heart. I'm probably known for retaliation haha. To me, this verse really spoke because of how clear it was telling me what I was doing wrong. From this verse, Jesus explains it pretty clearly. He wants us to surrender. Jesus isn't talking about the army or government services that require retaliation, but on a normal daily human life.When we are wronged, usually our first reaction is to get even. Instead Jesus said we should do good to those who wrong us. Instead of planning revenge, pray for those who hurt you. Your life will be better and the person who harmed you will see a different side to you and mainly to Jesus. Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you. We shouldn't resist or fight back physically but fight for the Word.We need to defend our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and what He stands for. I was wrong for most of my life saying "I was only using self-defense". This is something I myself need to work on and will work on. 

P.S- Charlie you don't have to worry about me anymore, just let Ben and Jayson slap you a couple of times.
