Turn the other cheek again and again


Luke
  Chapter 17

1 Then said he unto the disciples, imes in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith

Every day recently we have seen persons purported to be Adults acting like school yard bullies each getting more and more ridiculous in the vile way they treat each other. This passage came to mind it is where Jesus is telling the disciples why never to fall to the trap of escalating war of words and deeds. Please keep this passage in your daily prayers and help others to see we need to down play the level of hatred. 

I picked this song for today as it is now 5:27 in am and I have been awake for awhile ,
