I remember a time where me and my brother were going to the playground, to have our usual playtime. While I was biking around, Tim went picking flowers to give to our mom, who was not feeling well. Then, a boy who was following me, said "He's a girl." The boy was pertaining to my brother. I knew what he said about my brother was wrong so I calmly told him that "My brother wasn't a girl."
There are times we cannot avoid people who would say, do or think mean things about us. Like that moment, the boy thought that by saying mean words would make him look cool and funny. But that's really wrong. Making fun of others and saying discouraging words are not cool and does not make us a better person than the other. God wants us to be kind, respectful, and loving not only in our actions, but also in our words. So next time you're in a situation when someone is doing mean things to others, don't join them but instead, stick up for the person who is being put down. Lastly, pray that the mean person would feel God's love for him and would choose to change his ways.
Prayer
Lord
Please help me think twice for the actions that I'm going to do. Help me be careful on the words that I am going to say and be mindful of the thoughts that I'm going to think about others. Help me to be a kind, respectful, and loving person to those who think being mean is cool and funny and those who were being put down. Thank you Lord, in Jesus name, I pray, Amen.
“But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you."
Luke 6:27-28

In such a young mind, I am so amazed at how God works in Tim's & Jerry's lives. I pray that they continue to be humble and receive God's continued blessings as they spiritually grow as a young man. Let Christ be the center of your life always <3
