“Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back.” – LUKE 6:30
...Our instruction from Luke 6:29-30 is not to demand your coat back from someone if he takes it from you.
It doesn’t sound fair at all. It doesn’t even sound smart!
The laws of the land teach us to always go after what is rightfully ours. Take the person who’s offended or harmed you to court.“Fight fire with fire!”
But instead, we’re instructed to do the opposite and concede...
It’s not about being strong or weak. Choosing not to fight back in court, even when you’re right, might look weak to the people around you. But it’s easy to retaliate… especially when you’re right. Choosing not to fight back when you’ve been wronged takes a great deal of strength.
Nobody likes to “lose.” But who says “winning” in the eyes of the world is always a good thing? When we seek approval from God, instead of the world, the battle has already been won.
