Treat others/Turn the other cheek

"treat others how you want to be treated" I've grown up hearing this my whole life and I believe it. The Bible tells us this so of course I do. 

"Turn the other cheek" is something else The Bible tells me that I believe. 

I try to do this but I'm a fighter and I want people to know they can't hit me without getting a slap back. But that's not right. When we are faced with cruelty we shouldn't hit back but stand our ground on faith and God's promises and love them no matter what. 

This is hard but I'm practicing  it right now. My real test for this is coming this week so please keep me and my family in your prayers.
