S -1 Peter 3:8-9
Finally all of you, be like minded, be sympathetic, love one
another, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult
with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you
were called so that you may inherit a blessing.
O - Love one another, repay evil with blessing, and inherit
a blessing
A – We are called to be transformed into the image of Christ
and this passage leads us to that. For a normal person the trend is to insult
back for an insult and love one who love him/her. But for a true Christian, we
are to love everyone unconditionally just like He loved us unconditionally. We
cannot love a person who insults us or mistreats us but when we seek to be
filled with Christ love in us, It is possible to love that person. We choose to
forgive them, pray for them and bless them and the bondage of hate will be
broken.
P – Abba Father, The fleshly tendencies to fight back and
repay evil for evil is so evident in a normal person. But I know that you have
called us to be separate from this world. Enable me to overcome these fleshly
tendencies and shine forth with your love. Fill me with your love to see
everyone through your eyes and love them in spite of what they do to me.
In Jesus Powerful name I pray,
AMEN
