W@W WRAP – Week 412
Reacting Like the World or Responding Like Jesus? – When life brings hurt and disappointment, we are faced with a choice: Will we react like the world or respond like Jesus? While we cannot control the actions of others, we can control how we respond. Retaliation, anger, or self-pity may seem justified in the moment, but God calls us to a higher standard – to respond with love, kindness and grace. So, let us embrace Jesus’ call to be peacemakers (Matthew 5:9), reflecting His heart even in the most challenging situations. May we choose to honour God with our words, actions and attitudes, responding in ways that glorify Him. Remember, by walking in His truth and love, we reflect Christ’s character and bring light to a broken world. (Ephesians 4:31–32, James 1:19–20 & Proverbs 26:4)
