Humility is the ability to take a blow without retaliating. Always bring your hurt heart to the Lord first. In the rare instances when you need to speak immediately, the Holy Spirit will be your defense.
God's purposes will be fulfilled with or without your help. He is the Lord! No weapon forged against you will prevail, but if you lift your hand against a fellow Christian you will not prevail. Disputes between Christians are unique; you are not to take up arms against one another. It is a travesty to God's Name for His children to cause one another harm.
Do not be surprised when God does His greatest works through events, circumstances, and people who do not appear to be perfect. It is in imperfection that the Lord's perfection shines brightest.
Scripture: "When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly" (1 Peter 2:23).
