Good Afternoon
I was reading 1Peter 3:8-12(NLT)
Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude. Don't repay evil for evil. Don't retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will bless you for it. For the Scriptures say,
"if you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from telling lies. Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it. 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.

Not to long ago I got really angry with someone who insulted me, I was so so mad and hurt at the same time. I could have turned around and insult them if I wanted to, but the Lord really had a hold on me, telling me let it go. It was hard ,but I walked away. I know sometimes we want to turn to people who insult us, and say something back. Jesus was insulted time and time again, and he turned the other cheek. Really, He died on the cross for our sins. So lets all try to turn the other cheek, just Like Jesus did. So lets LOVE and forgive one another, Just like the Lord loves us. Yall have a wonderful evening.
