There will be many opportunities in life to return evil for evil, to say the hurtful thing back, hold a grudge, or treat someone the same way they treated you. But as followers of Christ, we're called to something different. Peter challenged believers not to continue the cycle of bitterness and retaliation. Instead, we're called to respond with kindness, grace, and blessing. It isn't always easy, but it reflects the heart of the One who has called us. "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 3:9 #FollowJesus #WalkByFaith #ChristianLiving #GraceAndTruth
