Read Proverbs 10:12  How do you usually react when someone wrongs you?  Do you try to understand why they did what they did, or do you just get angry?  Do you think about getting even with them?  Do you say, "Well they sure must be having a bad day to do that"?  Or do you say, "They sure have the nerve!  I'm going to give them a piece of my mind!"  But do we realize that it is up to us to make things get angrier, or make things calm down.  What happens after someone wrongs us is up to usWe are the ones who decide if things get better or get worse by what we do next.  If we become angry, things only get worse.  If we try to understand and forgive the other person, things will get better.  Instead of a big blow up, we can calm down the situation with our love.  Remember, the other person may do the wrong thing, but what happens next is up to us.  Ask yourself, What Would Jesus Do?
