SCRIPTURE:
Isaiah 53:7-He was beaten down and punished, but He didn't say a word. He was like a lamb being led to be killed. He was quiet, as a sheep is quiet while its wool is being cut; He never opened His mouth.
MEDITATION:
The words, "What would Jesus do", are powerful. There are many times in our lives when our coworkers, family/friends crucify us with words or even say things about us that are not true. It is times like these when we should say to ourselves, "What would Jesus do." The flesh will tell you get even, say something back, you can't let them get away with that. Jesus was beaten, humiliated, laughed at talked about and was hung and nailed to the cross. With a humble heart he NEVER uttered a word back, in fact He prayed to the Father, "Lord forgive them for they know not what they do." When we are persecuted, humiliated, and talked about we must learn to remain silent and have a humble heart and pray for those who spitefully abuse and misuse us.
QUESTION: WHAT WILL YOU DO, WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT JESUS DID?
ANSWER: LOVE INSPITE OF!!!!!!!!! JESUS DOES!
I would like to thank everyone for the support and encouraging words, while I was going through my temporary storm. When going through it is uncomfortable, but it is called a process and without the process we cannot get to the promise. God is still on the throne and He has a plan. Pray for people who wrong you without cause, continue to pray for local schools, marriages, and our local churches and parents raising children. GOD IS LOVE!

I was recently wronged without cause, and while being persecuted I remained silent, but let me tell you it was not easy. I thought of everything I could say, but all the positive and encouraging things I said to this person would have been in vain, so I held my peace and decided to let God fight that battle, because He always wins. WHAT WOULD JESUS DO? "Q"
I read this yesterday but I am reading it again today because I didn't apply the philosophy: "WWJD" on yesterday... thank God for His grace to live another day and strive to do better. God is truly Great in spite of…!!! Thanks for being the messenger of His on-time counsel.
God Bless!
