If one part is honored, every part shares in its joy..1 Corinthians 12:26) .Our Father is our healer and gives us all strength to endure while life hurts God Heals. But here is what I tell you. Love your enemies. Pray for those who hurt you.Matthew 5:44 My friends, don’t try to get even. Leave room for God to show his anger. It is written, “I am the One who judges people. I will pay them back,” (Deuteronomy 32:35) says the Lord.Romans 12:19 The Lord will fight for you. Just be still.Exodus 14:14 Be kind and tender to one another. Forgive each other, just as God forgave you because of what Christ has done.Ephesians 4:32 And that’s not all. We are full of joy even when we suffer.
