This is me

Famous rhyme ‘Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me.’

Lettie the bearded lady

Friedrich Nietzsche ‘Whatever doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger.’

Three responses Anger that leads to revenge. Pretending you are confident but feeling as though you don’t quite belong. Being determined that nobody is going to tell you who you are.

Anger is understandable and right But being angry, putting on a brave face and being determined doesn’t help us to deal with the hurt inside.

Matthew 5:38-42 ‘You have heard that it was said, “Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.” But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.”’ (New International Version)

What if we chose love over hatred? Not lashing out at others. Not always wanting to have the last word. Not getting our own back.

Reflection Have I been hurt by someone? Can I choose to forgive them? Do I need to speak to someone about it?
