Just let the person continue till they are spent and not respond in any way. It takes the wind right out of their sails, as that old saying goes.<br /><br />Today I found the following and it reminded me of your comment. It's something Peter says about Jesus (1 Ptr 2:23)... "when He was reviled and insulted, He did not revile or offer insult in return; When He was abused and suffered, He made no threats of vengeance: but trusted Himself and everything to Him Who judges fairly."<br /><br />Thanks for sharing the real-live example of that from your own life!Brenda @ Its A Beautiful Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02955486477303938670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-22758263715011337882011-08-04T15:38:03.668-07:002011-08-04T15:38:03.668-07:00I too need the kick in the pants badly for I strug...I too need the kick in the pants badly for I struggle with all the three evils you mentioned.

We need to give up our goals and let God place new desires on our hearts. (They might be the same but we need to listen to God first.)<br />blessings,<br />JanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-44752406456597800282011-08-03T12:37:01.025-07:002011-08-03T12:37:01.025-07:00This is a big area of struggle for every person, i...This is a big area of struggle for every person, including believers.
