Turn the Other Cheek

In verse 15, Paul writes to remind the Thessalonians to avoid taking revenge.

This is a hard word for me. When I'm wronged, I enjoy taking steps to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Jesus goes even farther, when he commands us to turn the other cheek.

Lord, I pray that you will remind me to turn the other cheek and leave vengeance up to you, even when I'm unjustly punished and persecuted.
