Finally, all of you, have unity of spirit, sympathy, love for one another, a tender heart, and a humble mind. Do not repay evil for evil or abuse for abuse; but, on the contrary, repay with a blessing. It is for this that you were called—that you might inherit a blessing. For ‘Those who desire life and desire to see good days, let them keep their tongues from evil and their lips from speaking deceit; let them turn away from evil and do good; let them seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.’ (1 Peter 3:8-12, NRSV)
Do not repay evil for evil. We need to be above the fray and moved by the love of God in us and for us. We can not react as society wants us to react to the things that happen around us.
You see as a child of God you have the Holy Spirit in you and because of that you should not do evil, or speak slanderous words against people. We need to be above the fray.
Because the things we say can build up or they can tear down. Our words can kill or they can heal!
What will you do this day with your words?
