This is very important in interpersonal relationship because people will do things you hate. People will hurt you. This should not make you walk in unforgiveness or bitterness. Rather, walk in love by forgiving them. In the Holy Book, the greatest Apostle who has ever lived said " Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good". We should not allow people's bad attitudes defeat us, rather we should reciprocate in love. This will make us better spiritually and in character.
The Saviour of the world said in the greatest book that " For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so?" It means we are not to keep grudges or malice. There is no reward in doing good only to those who love you. You must also do good to those who hurt you. Repay every evil with good thereby defeating evil.
Evil multiplies when it is reciprocated in the same kind but destroyed when it is repaid with good. The chain of bitterness, unforgiveness which put people in stagnation and bondage can be shattered by love. If you repay evil with evil (hurt for hurt, hatred for hatred, tit-for-tat), you are made evil in the process. You're allowing yourself to be controlled by the behaviour of others. Even the Holy Book said "if you do good to those who do you evil, you're putting hot coal on them." It offers that the easiest way to correct wrong is not by doing wrong but doing right. #LOVE COACH#
A very great piece, my big coach.
