Good morning and welcome to Wake Up with Pastor Scot and Pastor Holly.

Today we’re in Romans 12:20, and this episode is all about how to respond to people who hurt, oppose, or mistreat us. The Bible says, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink.” Instead of returning anger for anger, God calls us to respond with kindness, love, and generosity.

Pastor Scot and Pastor Holly talk about how our natural reaction is often to fight back. When someone spreads rumors, speaks negatively about us, or makes life difficult, we may feel justified in doing the same thing to them. But returning meanness for meanness only adds fuel to the fire and makes the situation worse.

This message is also a reminder that unkind people are often hurting people. Their behavior may reveal a deeper need for love, encouragement, acceptance, or hope. When we respond differently than they expect, we create an opportunity for their heart to change. Kindness can reach places that anger never will.

Pastor Scot and Pastor Holly also point out that loving someone does not mean allowing unhealthy behavior to continue. You can establish a healthy boundary without becoming cruel or bitter. You can speak the truth without being rude. There may never be a good reason to be mean, especially when God has given us the power to make someone’s life better.

If you are dealing with a difficult person today, stop battling them with the same behavior they are giving you. Give kindness. Give encouragement. Give grace. Feed the need beneath the behavior, and trust God to work in their heart.
