    Thank you Pastor David for your words of wisdom!
    I am glad that Jesus is continually working on our character. Everyone who knows me always know that I am a very gentle and mature Christian, but lately I have been pushed over the edge by my oppressors. As all of us, a natural human being, I had have feeling the need to express my feeling, but I have realized that I should known better than that, and I have been refrained from talking back to my oppressors. But my haters used the one time of replying to them to shoot at me as always. I don't think I said anything bad compare to their insulting cursing words they referring to me all the time. I don't really care about what they say, because they always used negativity about me. They never said anything good about me, anyways. They always think they are better than everyone else.
    I have been born and raised in Christianity and I am a born again Christian by God's grace.
