I wasn't sure which one to put this in so I'll put it here because it's an example of when Jesus told us to turn the other cheek....
in church, our pastor told us a story about a white man who deliberately bumped into him at Walmart. So in his mind he's thinking he wants to Buck up to the guy, but he decides to do the whole turn the other cheek thing and even offered to pay for the man's stuff at the counter. That's when the man called him a ni**er. He was angry enough to fight the man but he decided to just walk away. 2 years later, Pastor is having a Tent Revival in Fulton and that same man approached him, hugged him and said "2 years ago I said some very nasty things to you and I just wanted to apologize for what I said. He explained how his wife had cheated on him with a black man and this caused them to have hatred in his heart for black men. He then said that he had intended to go home and kill himself but he talked about my pastors act of kindness and chose not to do so. I guess everything happens for a reason
