1 Peter3:8-12
8 Finally, all of you should be of one mind, full of sympathy toward each other, loving one another with tender hearts and humble minds. 9 Don't repay evil for evil. Don't retaliate when people say unkind things about you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God wants you to do, and he will bless you for it. 10 For the Scriptures say,
"If you want a happy life and good days,
keep your tongue from speaking evil,
and keep your lips from telling lies.
11 Turn away from evil and do good.
Work hard at living in peace with others.
12 The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right,
and his ears are open to their prayers.
But the Lord turns his face
against those who do evil." (NLT)
The Lord knows our motives, even if others do not and one day we will stand before the Lord and give an account. Therefore let us love one another, forgive one another and be a blessing to one another. If others are mean to you or say hurtful things to you do not return it back to them but rather be a blessing to them, pray good for them and say kind words to them for this is what God wants you to do and He will bless you for it. Jesus endured the ultimate worst for us. He endured death on the cross for us and He wants us to follow Him. Bless as God has blessed you.
