STAY TENDERHEARTED AND KEEP A HUMBLE ATTITUDE

1 Peter 3:8Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Greek Show brotherly love. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude. 9Do not repay evil for evil. Do not 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 grant you his blessing. 10For the Scriptures say, “If you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies. 11Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it. 12The 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.”

Lord, when You dwell in us we develop the right attitude and if we stay focused on You, we will stay humble.  Father, give us Your love and forgiveness when people come up against us; so we will not retaliate when we are wronged.  Lord, help us not focus on our enemy and the darkness around us, so give us eyes for the things of the Spirit.  Father, thank You, for the hedge of protection You have around us as You order our steps; around the obstacles of this world, that will make us stumble and fall.  Jesus, help us become honorable, true, and pure and fill us with Your Spirit as we practice what we have learned, and received from the Word.  Let us shine with Your wisdom; and give us the knowledge, strength, and courage we need to witness to others, about Your goodness.   Father, thank You, for life health and strength; and the peace we receive from Your grace,  in Jesus name, Amen
