On the plus side, it means you're taking ground for the Kingdom, but as you say, it's not easy to receive that kind of hate mail. I really admire your response. I'm not sure I'd be as gracious as you. It's easy to rant about people who've harmed you, but as you say, God loves them. I heard of a book once called 'Hurt People Hurt People' and I often wonder if those who are so single-minded in speaking against Christians have actually been hurt by Christians in the past. Good on you for encouraging us to love those who persecute us. And I pray you'll get a hundred-fold more messages of encouragement than the negative ones. You go girl!Nola Passmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08425394685430146759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-52980072461986099852017-10-05T16:12:36.543+10:002017-10-05T16:12:36.543+10:00So I can be grateful the only comments I get on my...So I can be grateful the only comments I get on my (infrequent) blog are spam! You've addressed an increasing issue, Charis, that there's so much vitriol and abuse out there in cyber world. I've stepped back from social media, thanks for tackling this head on.

In fact I was just thinking the other day about how we should deal with some of these responses (especially as many won't be able to hear anything positive we respond with, or gentle even confrontation), and I was reminded of Jesus' words about praying for our 'enemies'. I wondered how often we actually take time out to pray for some of these people and whether we really believe it might make a difference? :) Ruth Emberyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05659394423846057189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-63972601581303720192017-10-05T08:17:52.669+10:002017-10-05T08:17:52.669+10:00Wise words and a great reminder to pray - even for...Wise words and a great reminder to pray - even for trolls.

You've done what Jesus asked us to do - not to retaliate towards our enemies with hate but to respond from a place of humility and love. Reminds me of Phil 2. I would say that hate male is a form of persecution - so good on you for tackling the trolls in a godly manner. Thanks for being a great example to the rest of us and for following the way of love, which is after all, what our Christian walk is all about. Good on you Charis.Anusha Atukoralahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859837228901127984noreply@blogger.com
