Fit Bit (Love a Bully)
Yesterday, I spoke with a woman who obviously was thinking I
was a bit nuts to be in my sons corner considering how he swears and treats me
with such disrespect. I supposed it does
seem to be a bit crazy to the outside world looking in. What I know is hurting people lash out at
others, especially those who are closest to them, those they can trust the
most. I know the pain my child suffers
with. I know the frustration in his head
and in his heart. I am trying my best to
be a Godly mom. I am trying to love him
with a Christ type love. He is
responding in kind.
In my small town, we have a campaign, “NO BULLYING IN OUR TOWN” How stupid.
In my opinion that
is bullying the bully. The bully is
already hurting; I think the campaign should be, “LOVE A BULLY TODAY!”
I believe it is our jobs as Christians to love people
regardless of their circumstances. I
think the people stricken with mental disease; alcoholism, divorce, drugs or
abuse can be greatly helped by us loving them without judging them.
How do you love the seemingly unlovable?
1.
Pray for them. (Ask God, to let them truly
understand how valuable they are to Him and that they may believe that Jesus
loved them so much He died for them.)
2.
Lead them by example.
3.
Treat them with love respect and kindness.
4.
Find things you like about them and tell them.
5.
Always have a smile for them.
I am not advocating taking abuse from others. There are many instances where a person must
leave a relationship to be safe. I am
just saying that if someone is lashing out at you, chances are they are hurting
and it has nothing to do with you.
John 3:16 “ God, so loved the world (including the
bully) that He gave his only begotten son,
that whosoever believeth in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Proverbs 10:11-12
“The mouth of the righteous is a well of life, but violence covers the
mouth of the wicked. 12 Hatred stirs up
strife, But love covers all sins.”
Be fit and be blessed,
Kimberly
