Loving My Neighbor

The world says, “Stand your ground. Get even. Protect what’s yours.” But Jesus invites me into something radical: don’t retaliate, go the extra mile, give more than what’s fair, and answer offense with mercy. He’s not asking me to be passive—He’s asking me to be powerful in love. This kind of love disarms hate, breaks cycles of revenge, and quietly reflects the heart of a Savior who turned the other cheek… all the way to the cross for me!

Righteousness
