I mentioned yesterday how a you can stay in unity with others by walking in forgiveness for others and laying down your pride by not always having to be right about everything. This is a sign of humility and people will respect you for that. Proverbs 15:1 says, "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." Maybe for you as a tbi survivor, you constantly encounter a famliy member who you can never seem to get along with. I challenge you to rather than lash back each time he/she says or does something hurtful, start answering with a soft answer of kindness. Many times, for those situations, it is helpful not to say anything at all; this is definitely a sign of humility. This will cause the other person to consider how his/her unkind words are not needed and they don't provoke the reaction from you they want, which is for you to retaliate in anger.
Whoever you may be and whatever condition you may have, I challenge you to Answer softly those who criticize you. Everybody can learn this one lesson, and it will promote unity ans thus benefit anybody's life; I gaurantee it.
