“Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing.” (1 Peter 3:8-9 ESV)
All,
This sticks out because Peter says,”but on the contrary, bless…”. I often judge those who are attacking other Christians or Christian beliefs. While it may be ok to judge without condemnation, I creep into the condemnation camp pretty quick. However, I am not quick to “bless”. Shouldn’t it be the opposite? Please pray that we and our friends have a tender heart and pray for those who mean harm. Please pray for Devon, Cedric and Jonnell’s information meeting this morning at 8:00.
