Grace for your spirit January 29, 2014

Grace for your spirit
Not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing.  I Peter 3:9

Like many things from God, we receive so we can give, and give so we can continue to receive.  This is why God called us.  When was the last time someone insulted us, cursed us, or said something evil about us, and we responded to that with a blessing for them?   We might think that is hard.  However, more people have thought things were hard and never tried it, than those who tried it and found it to be hard.  
Besides that, Jesus in the Beatitudes, directed us to bless those who persecute us.  Let's get that blessing on the tip of our tongues and be ready.
