Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. 1 Peter 3: 8-9

What I heard from Jesus today is: You insult me! I bless you!

Have you been insulted before? How did you feel? Do you think you could bless the guy who insulted at that moment?

That's what Christlikeness really means. Whether you are always talking the talk of having Christlikeness or really showing Christlikeness through you life witness and lifestyle needs to be tested. One of the test is when someone insult you and you can bless that person. Can you do that? No! But if you really have Christ in you and your live out a life of Christlikeness you should be able to do that naturally, without anger. Really? Yes, trust me. I have been insulted by quite a number of people and I can shake hand with them and bless them. After all, what is the use if we let that anger sink in our lives and curse them when we've got a chance. It would only bring us more close to the Devil and more Devil-like.

Remember, live in harmony with one another and be sympathetic. Everyone has their own reason to do things even to hurt and insult people. Love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing!

Dear Lord Jesus,

Help us to be able to bless when we are being insulted. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
