Today this was my short message: if somebody comes to you in the street and say something nasty to you, what should you do?
Four types of answers come to mind,
1 - say something equally nasty to them,
2 - tell them to go away,
3 - walk away
4- take refuge in a shop or speak to a policeman
We won't go down the line of saying that one should punch or give a beating!
If I would suggest that you could say something nice instead, would you be surprised. It says in the Bible that 'Pleasant words are [as] a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.' Proverbs 16:24 Are you surprised ? then think about the qualities of honey. This is such a lovely picture.

Let's consider the sacrificial love, the love that conquers all.
More to come.
Have a blessed evening my friends. In the name of Jesus our saviour and redeemer.
