Stand There and Take It

Today I went to the airport with my Dad to pick up my sister who had been in Oregon for a week. Now I know the real meaning of "stand there and take it". What do you do when someone who says there a Christian but really isn't,and is saying a bunch of negative lies about you. As a Christian what do you do? Yell at them say that their wrong? Nope doesn't work. Cry in front of them and beg them to stop? Doesn't work AT ALL. Hit them? Don't ever do it. Only the Devil wants you to do that. Or do you stand there silently, praying to God for protection. Even though your heart is aching and this mean person is giving you everything you have to remember: "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." -Ephesians 6:12

Don't get me wrong every second I wanted to scream at the op of my lungs: Leave me alone! What you are saying, they're lies! Stop talking to me!

I wanted to have an easy way out, for someone to come and rescue me. But I knew that on earth you will suffer and trials, even emotional ones, are only there to purify you an make you more like Christ. I realize the more I go through hard stuff, and the more I call on Jesus, and when he's always their for me, I get closer to him. And that is always worth it.
