Reading the Word
1 Peter 3:8
8 Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous;[a] 9 not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.
Responding to the Word
Sunday is my favorite days of the week! I love coming together with God's people (You kids) and worshipping the One true live God. I love seeing you guys raise your hearts and hands to God. However, my prayer is that you take that "one mind" that we share in worship into your homes and schools. How? Thats a great question. Here's what 1 Peter says:
1. Love as brothers...Helping our brothers and sisters in the house and friends in school when they need help
2. be tenderhearted...Hugging one that needs a good hug
3. be courteous... Using good manners in the home and school
4. not returning evil for evil. Well this one can be a toughy. When someone offends you, don't offend them in return. Show them you're different! Show them you're a Christian by acting different than the World acts. Show them the love of Jesus.
Praying through the Word
Father,
I pray you give us eyes to see and heart to understand what you mean here. Help us not just to read Your Word but become Your Word to the world around us. Please give us the words to say and actions to perform when we are offended and help us to respond with Your great love.
In Jesus' Name
Amen
