Say NO to Bullying

Proverbs 10:12

Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs.

The enemies of the people of Judah and Benjamin found out that they were rebuilding the temple. They wanted to take part in it but their request was rejected. The enemies were not happy, and they came up with many wicked ideas and actions to delay the progress of the rebuilding of the temple of God. 

The enemies tried to discourage and intimidate the people of Israel. They even bribed the officials to work against them. They literally bullied the Israelites.

Bullying is an action of mistreating someone vulnerable done by someone who is stronger or more powerful. Obviously, bullying is not Godly. You and I are called to love others and not to bully people.

As God has shown us His mercy, let’s live a life that shows His mercy by being kind to others, by standing up for the weak when they are bullied, by preventing bullying as best as you can through appropriate actions and by praying for those who bully and who are bullied.

Prayer

Dear God, I forgive those who bullied me in the past. I believe Your grace has healed me. I pray for those who bully to repent and for them to be able to feel Your mercy in their heart. Amen.
