A CHRISTIAN man had a rather quarrelsome neighbor whose cow often broke through the fence into his garden. One morning, having driven the cow off his property back into her owner’s yard, he said to him, “Friend, I have driven your cow home once more and if I find her in my garden again —”
“S’pose you do,” exclaimed his neighbor angrily. “What will you do?”
“Why,” said the other, “I’ll drive her home to you again, friend.” The cow never again troubled the Christian neighbor.
The Bible tells us, “If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: for thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head, and the Lord shall reward thee.” Prov. 25:21,2221If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: 22For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee. (Proverbs 25:21‑22).
“Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.” Rom. 12:2121Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. (Romans 12:21).
The doctor is examining Philip; he will also take care of Sally who has hurt her hand. “Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved.” Jer. 17:1414Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise. (Jeremiah 17:14).
