When we were little and all the bullies would come, we reacted with our natural responses, revenge.
The Scriptures do say we are not supposed to sit among mockers, but what to do when we have no choice but to be surrounded by them? At school or work for example?
It is really hard to lead daily life when it feels like we are aliens among worldly people, deceitful people, mockers, etc. What do we do?
Jesus say 'if somebody strikes your right cheek, give him the left one' and 'if somebody makes you walk a mile, go with him two'.
That means we must look beyond their behaviour. The behaviour only shows the symptoms of a disease. This disease is called lack of God. It destroys everything inside, it pushes love away and it makes peoples minds confused, that is why they say bad things about people instead of good.
We must be the light, we must forgive and keep giving love. And yes, it is easy to say and hard to act, but that is why Jesus is with us, so that when its beyond our limit, we can ask Him for the extra strength. God is really good, He is awesome, He will never abandon us or leave us if we ask Him to stay.
