Mistreated or Misunderstood? These 5 Scriptures Will Help!

We all face injustice at times in our lives.

So how do we keep it from disabling us with anger, fear, resentment, or sorrow? 

1. Remember that Jesus is our example. Nothing we experience can compare to the injustice Jesus experienced. See Philippians 2:5-11. 

2. Remember that Jesus fully understands our pain. He's been in our shoes and knows how we feel. He can fully sympathize and fully comfort us. See Hebrews 2:14-18. 

3. Don't let injustice enslave you. Instead, overcome injustice by showing goodness to others, even to your offenders. This is perhaps the hardest principle in this list, but it's truly is a key to freedom. See Romans 12:21.

4. Find extra time with Christ, His Word, and Christian fellowship so His Word influences you more than the words of your injustice. See Colossians 3:15-16. 

5. Believe that God will work this injustice for your good and the good of others. See Romans 8:28.
