Stop Bullying - Help Stop the Epidemic of Bullying

My Planks - Daily Intentions with Jesus at Heart

Don't laugh at bullying jokes. Whether it's happened to us, or to those around us, we've all experienced being bullied. Unfortunately sometimes we also contribute to the active bullying side of that equation by becoming a part of the bully. Don't laugh at bullying jokes, and don't contribute to the bullying, are first steps. Sure. But we should go a step farther, and speak up on behalf of those who cannot speak for themselves (Proverbs 31:8). What does anti-bullying look like in action and habit change? How do we practically examine our behaviors and habits in each setting and change them for the better?

My Plank: BULLYING

Verses:

1 Peter 2

Matthew 22

Proverbs 31

Proverbs 3:27

Literally the whole entire Holy Bible

Action Step: Notice ways you unintentionally contribute to bullying. Notice how you place your comfort above the will of God by allowing bullying to continue around you. Invite God to show you how to purposefully rethrone Him. Repent and Ask Him to break any bonds you may have formed of allegiance with things or influences of this world that are not of Him. Stop bullying before it starts within yourself, and when you witness it in your communities. Don't give in to online comment hate. Examine your intentions and impact in all of the communities and groups you belong to, and notice the gap between the two. Take steps to notice and change bad patterns and behaviors. You can always ask God to realign your intentions with His will. What other verses do you think should be used for this plank?

What is My Planks?

If I want to make BIG societal changes, where do I start? Well, it may sound cliche or naive, but the first step is to look at ourselves. Jesus told us we start with ourselves by removing the planks from our own eye before addressing the specks in the eyes of others.

So that’s what I’m doing here. I'm rebuilding myself after 10 years of rare disease. Welcome to My Planks. I'll share one of my planks each week. Every episode will end with an optional repentance minute, if that week’s plank was familiar to you too, you can join in.

Repentance is key. We can't just point out our planks, we need to repent to God, and get His help removing them. Supernatural help from God the Father is ALWAYS THE BEST DECISION.

Join me as we change the world by starting with ourselves.
