Turn the Other Cheek

“You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.”—Matthew 5:38–39 (ESV)
Jesus teaches that instead of retaliating when someone wrongs you, forgiveness is a better way. The next time you find yourself wanting to get even with someone, reflect on this verse and rejoice in changing your ways and becoming a better person. When you forgive, your heart grows stronger and your spirit grows by responding to future offenses with mercy and grace.
Dear God, it’s not easy to turn the other cheek, but I am trying my best to forgive as You forgive.

The Right Path

Again and again I sent all my servants the prophets to you. They said, “Each of you must turn from your wicked ways and reform your actions; do not follow other gods to serve them. Then you will live in the land I have given to you and your ancestors.” But you have not paid attention or listened to me.—Jeremiah 35:15 (NIV)
Every morning is a fresh start with a new opportunity for you to take the right path. Know that God’s love will support you through whatever challenges you face. When you need help prioritizing your day, check in with Him.
My Father in Heaven, guide me to use my time for things that will have lasting value.
