Being strong doesn’t always mean winning. Being weak doesn’t always mean losing.
Being articulating doesn’t always mean righteous. Being silence doesn’t always mean guilty.
The word of God is powerful and meaningful, sometimes it is hard to in-take, for the uneasiness it aroused inside. It takes much spiritual strength to withhold than to defend. It takes even more inner spiritual strength to swallow the inequity than to fight back. The spiritual strength that Jesus talks about when someone strikes you on the right, turn to him the other also. It is the extra miles we will need to walk, not to sustain our personal reputation, but God’s. It is the cloak we’ve got to lose to cover up our own shame and making us comfortable. It is the naked self that we ought to expose that God’s glory will be seen through us weak sinner…
Lord, may Your word become our prayer. “He must become greater; I must become less.” John 3:30
