Today’s Story

What happens when someone's bite is WORSE than their bark?
Introducing...Maya Richter. She's used to being the best and getting treated like it. So, when Michael's new friend Anna starts pulling ahead of her in class—beware of the dog!

Now Michael's torn with how to be nice to both of his friends, especially when Maya's red with jealousy over Anna's brains.

It's really hard loving someone God's way, especially when they're being mean.

HOW ABOUT YOU…If all you're getting is anger and grief from someone, how do you treat them back?

CHECK THIS OUT…But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you (Matthew 5:44). God says to answer bad feelings with goodness, and that leads to a better you!

When we go out of our way to be nice to someone and they don't accept it, that hurts! But, God is telling us that being kind creates positive changes in our lives, if not in others. And, that's worth hanging in there for!
