Give and Take

DAY 9 OF 21

Picture a game of chess. Every move you make influences your opponent's next move. Life can be a lot like that, especially when it comes to how we treat each other. It’s one big game of give and take. Paul’s letter to the Romans challenges us to break the cycle of retaliation. Instead of responding to negativity with more negativity, we should respond in a way that's honorable in God's eyes and that others can respect, too. This doesn't mean being a pushover or ignoring injustice. It means choosing to respond in a way that elevates the conversation rather than escalating the conflict.

Today, if someone treats you unfairly, challenge yourself to respond in a way that's respectful and constructive. How might your response change the game for that relationship entirely?
