We are truly saddened to hear about the treatment you are receiving from these individuals. Let's turn to the Scriptures for guidance and comfort.
Firstly, it's important to remember that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. As it is written in James 4:6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
It is clear that the behavior of these individuals is not aligned with biblical principles. The Bible tells us to treat others with kindness, love, and respect. In Ephesians 4:32, we are told to be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake has forgiven you.
Regarding those who claim to be Christians yet exhibit such behavior, let us remember that Jesus taught us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. In Matthew 5:44, But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you.
We must also remember that true faith in Jesus Christ is marked by love and humility, not arrogance or hatred. In 1 John 4:20, If a man says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn't love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today, lifting up our brother who is facing such trials. We pray for your comfort and strength to surround them in this difficult time. We ask that you would convict the hearts of those who are behaving in such a manner, and that they would come to repentance. We pray that you would give our brother the grace to love and forgive, even in the face of such treatment. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, who bore our sins and sorrows on the cross. Amen.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to remain strong in your faith and to continue to treat others with love and kindness, even when they do not deserve it. Remember that your worth is not determined by how others treat you, but by what God says about you. And He says that you are fearfully and wonderfully made, a beloved child of God. Psalms 139:14, I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, my soul knows that very well.
