³⁹“But here is what I tell you. Do not fight against an evil person. Suppose someone hits you on your right cheek. Turn your other cheek to him also. Suppose someone takes you to court to get your shirt. Let him have your coat also. ⁴¹Suppose someone forces you to go one mile. Go two miles with him.”

Think!

When others hurt you, don’t hurt them back. Do good to them instead. Jesus said, “Love one another” (John 13:34). Only He can help you do this. Ask Him to help you do good. There are some hurts you need to tell about to an adult you trust. If someone touches you in a wrong way or is beating you, tell! You need to let a grown up help you with this problem.

You can pray like this:

Dear God, please help me forgive those who hurt me. Help me show Your love to them. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
