Hand out blessings!!!
Good morning everyone!! I trust this will be a wonderful day in the Lord Jesus Christ! God is good all the time, all the time God is good!!
Well, Peter has talked to women, men, and Christians. In his Christian comments he is giving us not just good advice, but good spiritual advice.
1 Peter 3:9 "Don't repay evil for evil. Don't retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. This is what God has called you to do, and he will bless you for it."
God uses us all. A once rash, belligerent, domineering, and arrogant Peter bears witness to a life of harmony, compassion, love, and humility. What a difference God makes! You, too, are God's witness to skeptical people. We all have skeletons in our closet, but we need to let our life be evidence of God's truth. Let your pride become humility and your insensitivity give way to genuine affection for others.
In todays world it is often demed acceptable by some to tear people down verbally or to get back at them if we feel hurt. If you don't see this want the evening news - campaigns, crimes, negative all over the news.
Peter, remembering Jesus' teaching encourages his readers to pay back wrongs with a blessing, like praying for the ones who offend you. In God's kingdom there is no revenge, no dis-harmony, no arrogance....just peace and harmony. Won't it be great!! Thank you for reading. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
