Yeah. Wonder what that is. I can take anything in my stride. Today's generation knows how to talk. But when something tough actually happens..... they run or hide or halt mid-step or just fall.
Can you take an unjust accusation? Do you always PROVE that you are right? I do, most of the time...just read on...
I read in the Bible today, in I Peter Chapter 2 verse 18 - " servants must submit to your masters and show them complete respect, not only to those kind and considerate, but also to those who are harsh.".....OUCH.
Man, he is so rude to me..what did I do to him ...such an awful boss! We hear this all the time.
Allow me to continue...." GOD WILL BLESS YOU FOR THIS, if you endure the pain of undeserved suffering because YOU ARE CONSCIOUS OF HIS WILL. "
And... verse 21 - " It was to this that GOD CALLED YOU, for CHRIST Himself suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you would follow in His steps."
What have been called to do ? ENDURE.
Endure what? The pain of undeserved suffering. No, I am not saying that you should bring suffering upon yourself. Please don't get me wrong. But if you do undergo something untoward that you feel you don't deserve, then don't worry, we are all called to endure. For Christ endured, for the joy that was set before HIM.
And in verse 15 - " for God wants you to silence the ignorant talk of foolish people by the good things you do."
You are called for a higher purpose. One that GOD Himself guides you in.
Unjust treatment at work? Repay it with good , from the heart, for this is God's will. Not to repay by unleashing it on the media or on your blog, but to ENDURE.
verse 23 - "When He was insulted, He did not answer back with an insult; when He suffered He did not threaten, but PLACED HIS HOPES in GOD, the Righteous Judge."
Chapter 3 verse 8: "To conclude, you must all have the same attitude and the same feelings; love one another as brothers, and be kind and humble with one one another.
Do not pay back evil for evil or cursing with cursing; instead pay back with a blessing, because a blessing is what God promised you when He called you. "
Especially in your work environment.
