“If someone hits you on one cheek, turn the other cheek to them also.”
— Matthew 5:39 (Paraphrased)
👶 Kindness Instead of Payback
Jesus teaches us not to fight back when someone is mean to us. That doesn’t mean we let people keep hurting us—but it means we don’t have to get even.
He wants us to love others like He loves us. And that means showing kindness even when it’s hard.
🏛 Long Ago…
Christian children were taught to forgive quickly and to leave justice to God. They learned that loving their enemies showed that Jesus lived in their hearts.
💡 Think About It:
- Has anyone ever hurt your feelings?
- What did you do? What do you think Jesus would do?
✨ Let’s Pray:
Jesus, help me be kind even when others are mean. Give me a loving heart that doesn’t want to fight back. Amen.

● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
