Glorifying God in All Things by Nancy Nair It is really hard to speak kindly when someone hurts you. It is difficult when you are hurt to not retaliate. God always wants us to represent Him; to speak kindly to everyone. Just because we speak kindly to them doesn’t mean that they will change, it only means that you are […]
