Milk[Encouragement]: Jesus won the war against the devil, death and evil spirits on the cross. Jesus showed he loved God enough to endure incredible trouble and pain. Jesus showed that he even loved those who put nails in him and mocked him while he was suspended in suffering for all there to see. Jesus loves us! Jesus still loves you.
Get on the side that won. Make peace with our good God. Repent of evil. Instead try and be super good and loving to all.
Meat [Christians should not get triggered by insults much]:
Proverbs 12:16 When a fool is annoyed, he quickly lets it be known. Smart people will ignore an insult.
It is important to read the motives of people. If they’re just out to mock, 99% of the time they will just keep it up. So ignore em, and pray someone else witnesses to em, or they read more of what you say and believe. If they are a seeker, answer them well, but if they are a mocker, you can tell easily especially if they ask silly questions.
Proverbs 26:4 If you answer a silly question, you are just as silly as the person who asked it.
Proverbs 26:5 Give a silly answer to a silly question, and the one who asked it will realize that he’s not as smart as he thinks.
You have two options with a mocker, ignoring is fine. Or answer their question with a troll response and then ignore em. Whatever you do, don’t get bent out of shape from insults. The originate from the devil to discourage you from talking about Jesus. So be encouraged to preach more even when insulted for this is like taking the Sword of the Word of God and cleaving all kinds of evil.

Milk[God cares for you]: To God, he cares for each and everyone of us. God cares about you more than any mother has loved her child.
Matthew 10: 28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather be afraid of God, who can destroy both body and soul in hell. 29 For only a penny you can buy two sparrows, yet not one sparrow falls to the ground without your Father’s consent. 30 As for you, even the hairs of your head have all been counted. 31 So do not be afraid; you are worth much more than many sparrows! 32 “Those who declare publicly that they belong to me, I will do the same for them before my Father in heaven.
God may care for little animals in the world a whole lot more than we can muster up loving people. And people are more important than animals. God loves us more than we can know even if we know this.
1 John 4:15 If we declare that Jesus is the Son of God, we live in union with God and God lives in union with us.16 And we ourselves know and believe the love which God has for us. God is love, and those who live in love live in union with God and God lives in union with them.
Jesus has a great destiny in store for us. We need to give up our foolish pride, jealousy and lust for things in this life. What God promises for us is much more soul satisfying than anything we could imagine or wish for. So if we have enough to eat, a place to stay and basics for our family, let us be happy and thank God.
We’re all just refugees in this world trying to scrape by. If we are kings now, we should spread the wealth and help the poor more. If we’re poor now don’t let deficiencies in your material possessions think you’re deficient in spirit. Sometimes the world places great emphasis on being wealthy, power, and status. But we should be happy if God has us humbled to be doing basic work to struggle onward. Most of us will be tempted with easier, lucrative but morally grey work. Stay with your humble duties and be good and loving to everyone. God thinks you matter really well even if you’re just scrubbing floors all day or doing manual labor of other sorts. The Gospel is better than a Disney story like Cinderella where a down and out girl gets to become queen. God sees us all as royalty now! Nothing is up to chance when it comes to your salvation, you’ll be raised to live with glory God grants you. Sure we might not see it through tired faces and rough situations, but we’ll be raised with glorious bodies and a never ending future. And if our life is tough through and through, that trains us endurance in case we need to later suffer to a degree as Jesus did before coming into Heaven. Remember Jesus suffered and died on that cross with you on his mind. He loves you a great deal. So take heart and try your best to avoid sin, love others, pray and read your Bible daily.
Pray[Pray that people’s spiritual eyesight get opened to see that Jesus loves them]: I think it is a good prayer that the people blinded spiritually can awaken and see that Jesus loves them, and that they should be good and loving. You can tell this one to God if you want. Amen.
