The person who insults us is a teacher who has come to help us reduce our ego, develop patience and compassion, practise unconditional forgiveness, and teach us about life and relationships. If you don’t perceive an insult as an insult, but as a teaching or a gift, it loses its power to hurt you.
On a practical level, if you are insulted, say nothing. Give yourself time. Much harm is created by lashing back, escalating the situation, and saying things you may not mean. Recognise it’s your ego – that false sense of pride acting up – and don’t go along with it.
Most of us aren’t quite there yet, but with time and practice it can happen.God sometimes manipulates the actions of our enemies to make them work as friends in order to accomplish His will in our lives, just like Judas. He can bless you through the worst relationships, ones that are painful or negative. The time, effort, and pain we invest in them aren’t wasted because God knows how to make adversity feed destiny into your life. Smile whenever you experience any of these. Greater good awaits.

This is so so true. I agree with you totally on this. It takes a lot of practice too! To accomplish this, we must depend wholly on God for grace . God bless you dear.
