LIFE APPLICATION
~Have you ever suffered taunts from other people for doing a wrong that you did not do? In the book Happiness is a Choice by Barry Neil Kaufman, it is suggested we tell those angry at us that there is nothing they can say or do to convince us to stop loving them. Jesus said the same thing throughout his life by example. The next time you are falsely accused, will you try this method of dealing with it?
~Have you been fighting something in your life that seems inevitable? What kind of blessing could it possibly have for you if you gave in and did it after all? Remember, Romans 8:28 says God can work all things together somehow to turn out for good if we love him.
~Recall a time when something important happened to you and it seemed as though no one in the world cared. How can you find people in the same circumstance today and let them know you care?
