DISPLAYING THE HEART OF JESUS

1 Peter 3:9 New King James Version
9 not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.

GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA DEAR FRIENDS!!!
If ever there was a time I needed this morning scripture, this was it! I've been through some things over the last month, that have really tested my patience, and trust me when I tell you guys, I haven't always succeeded at following what especially this verse above, or what Proverbs 15:1 says, and I deeply regret it. However, there have been moments where I've allowed God to be in control of my mouth and my actions, and it's turned into something good.
That's why these questions, especially this question below from this morning's devotions, is so thought provoking to me, and I wanted to share it with all of you today. Please read this question carefully, and I pray that God speaks to your heart through it too.

What makes it so easy to strike back at others for their unkind words?

Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things on this very issue, through this vlog I’d like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you not only challenges, but encourages, convicts, and motivates you, to want to show Christ likeness in actions and words, to all who show you unkindness, even if it's someone that you love, but without being a doormat. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn how, in Christ, you can find the strength, grace, and wisdom to display the heart of Jesus! 😊

So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with this final question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that it will motivate you to want to be intentional about showing kindness to those who show unkindness to you.

How can you be more intentional about showing kindness to those who are unkind
to you?

I want to reach out to those who are dealing with hostile family members, employers, employees, and neighbors, to please give these individuals to the Lord, and ask Him to show you ways in which you can display His heart to them, without being a doormat. I know as bill Crowder, this morning's devotional writer states so very well, “All of us will face moments when we're misunderstood, misrepresented, or attacked. We may want to respond in kind, but the heart of Jesus calls us to be kind, to pursue peace and display understanding.” My prayer is that we do this very thing, while not being someone's doormat or personal punching bag, but allow God to enable us to respond to evil with good, so that maybe we can bless someone who's enduring a hard day.

UNTIL SATURDAY:

HAVE A BEAUTIFULLY BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
