Blessing

"Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing." ~ I Peter 3:9



The words you speak can make a difference for good in the lives of others and in your own life. The blessings you extend to others are not based on their worthiness, but on their need. It is a blessing to bring about change.



If you return an insult when one is given, you seek justice; when you return blessing, you seek mercy. The response of blessing turns pettiness into prayers, meanness into goodwill, self-defense into self-sacrifice.



It is in giving blessing that you find happiness - not in getting even. In letting go of everything that would not speak the heart of God, there is peace.
