Sanguine
As Christians, we're to be innocent as doves. Always turning the other cheek and being willing to go the second and third mile for those who torment us.
Why do any of this?
Because we are to care more for our brother's salvation than anything else due to the fact that we are obligated to it / responsible for it as Christians due to our witness.
In other words, we don't deserve any moreso than our enemy to be born again, adopted sons of God, and it is our enemies' presence within our lives that provides opportunity for us to exude / amplify / reflect the mercies of Jesus Christ.
Let me repeat that. We don't deserve any moreso than our enemy to be born again, adopted sons of God. This is so freaking hard to digest. Oh Lord, humble my heart today!
We didn't earn our salvation. And no, there's no Christian "Bill of Rights" relative to how we're to be treated, adjudicated by our fellow man. What there is though is the plethora of God's promises to his children.
Hold fast to an eternal outlook today, and keep pouring out those hot coals via a God breathed sanguine outlook / perspective. No matter how much you'd like to witness your enemy's house burning down, dog being run over, or spouse leaving him / her, pray for them earnestly whilst also praying for your own self regarding how you respond to them each and every day.
