How do you deal with you "enemies", well I should say someone who seems to dislike you and don't treat you so well? I always wondered this growing up. My mom told me kill them with kindness but stick up for myself at the same time. Others would say ignore them and not have nothing to do with them. And then there is the be mean back approach, which is not my favorite and something I personally could never do. As I look back what does "kill them with kindness" even mean really?!?
Well, I have the answer. YES!! It was right in the Word of GOD. .......
HUMILITY!
Humility means the quality of being modest or respectful. Meekness is another word for Humility.
Psalms 37:11
But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace.
Humility or meekness hardly seems the proper weapon to deal with "enemies". But there is a lot of verses in GOD's Word that says it is. GOD also promises a reward for those with humble attitudes.
Matthew 5:5
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
We all have someone in our life now or in the past who don't like us and lets face it they show us that by the way the treat us. How we react and our attitude toward that person is what we need to focus on not the person but ourselves. So I think my mom was right on the "kill them with kindness" way of dealing with those types of people (thanks mom). And thank GOD He left us His word for everyday life and situations we have in this life.
So to conclude, treat others how you want to be treated regardless of how they treat you. Kill them with kindness, Be humble, meek and the reward will be great. It is not the world's way of doing it but is GOD's and that is the best way!
Here are a very other verse you can look up on Humility/meekness:
Psalms 149:4
Proverbs 3:34
Proverbs 16:18-19
Proverbs 22:4
John 5:44
Romans 12:3
Micah 6:8
He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

Judge yourself
1 Corinthians 4:5
Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.
It is tempting to judge a fellow christian, evaluating whether or not he or she is a good follower of Christ. But only GOD knows a person's heart, and He is the only one with right to judge. Paul's warning to the Corinthians should also warn us. We are to help those are sinning(5:12,13), but we must not judge who is a better servant for Christ. When you judge someone, you automatically consider yourself better, and this is pride.
Now we can never say we never judged someone, if you say you never have then add liar to your list also. But GOD forgives, and we to need to take heed of what Paul was stating in the above verse. Don't/ Try not to judge others but for real we should not judge fellow Christians - we are all sinners saved by grace.
.
Not saying I sit there judge everyone and actually I don't judge people, but I am not going to sit here and say I NEVER have. I try to live for the LORD daily but I do fall. And I been judged, I think we all have one time or another.

We effect
As christian in the world today we maybe the only Bible some see, and trust me when you tell a lost person you are saved they will watch you like a hawk to wait for you to slip up. And of course we do and we have to explain we are not perfect but forgiven. But what about the person who claim to be a christian and freely sins and acts just like the world think how many people that person is effecting by doing so. I heard one pastor say how many people do you send closer to Hell by the way you act as a christian.
You see many lost will say well you know John-doe over at that church well he is at the bar every Friday night with me, so he is no better then me. Well now you have a lost person who has totally turn from GOD because John-doe the christian, see WE EFFECT.
Romans 14:21
It is good neither to eat flesh, nor drink wine, nor anything whereby thy brother stumbles, or is offended, or is made weak.
Everything we do effects others, we need to think of them constantly. And live as GOD would want us to live - to glorify His name and Kingdom.
Can you sleep good at night?

Pray for Japan
Hello
My heart is so heavy for Japan. Words can't even express what they are going through. I pray GOD's comfort, peace, and strength for the vitims and their families. Japan has a long road ahead of them. BUT my main prayer is that people will come to know JESUS through this tragic event.
After this happened I thought about the end times and what the Lord says:
Matthew 24:1-8
1 And Jesus went out , and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down . 3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately , saying , Tell us, when shall these things be ? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying , I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled : for all these things must come to pass , but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Our Father is coming back SOON!
