I am pretty sure every one of us knows that person who has a knack for delivering a compliment without truly expressing one or at the least leaves you to question whether that was even a compliment at all!
They deliver comments in such a manner that to ask or respond makes you look petty and or confrontational. I struggle with these personality types and often need the assistance of prayer to let the comment slide and just keep on walking.
I found sound advice this morning on how to handle the passive-aggressive personality.
Proverbs 15:1 ESV “A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”
I have found ignoring or at least walking away and letting the comment evaporate because it meant nothing anyway as it was air from a mouth peppered with discontent.
I can choose to let such comments disrupt my day or I can choose to turn the other cheek!
How does one achieve the ability to turn the other cheek?
Romans 12:12 ESV “Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.”
Yep, it’s an instant prayer to the Holy Spirit, his strength in taking my footsteps and mind in a direction The Lord would want me to take…the path of Peace.
I pray for peace today…be blessed, and as always, thank you for joining me. 🥰
