Help! I'm Being BulliedSample

Bullying is a tough subject to tackle. We’ve all been there—whether we were the victim of bullying, a bystander as someone bullied someone else, or we were the bully, each of us has experienced bullying in some way. When we look in the Bible, the word “bully” isn’t used specifically, but thankfully God does have a lot to say about how we treat other people and how we respond when others don’t treat us the best. The Bible has one big rule when it comes to how we treat others. People actually started to call this the “Golden Rule.” You may have heard it before. It simply comes down to treating others how we want others to treat us. It’s a really simple way of looking at how we treat other people. Would we appreciate it if someone treated us the same way we treat others? If not, then we need to change. That’s one main lens we can use to look at our interactions with others, especially in the realm of bullying.

Challenge: Commit to reading every day this week. Start preparing your heart for what God wants to teach you today by spending time praying to Him. Thank Him for the opportunity to learn about what He has to say when it comes to how we should treat others, and ask Him to give you the wisdom to see how He wants to make you more like Jesus through this Bible Reading Plan.
