I Peter 3: 8, 9
Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous, not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing, but on the contrary, blessing, knowing that ye are called to this, that ye should inherit a blessing.
We are called to love, compassion and to bless. This may sound simple, but under fire it is anything but simple. It is not easy to do good to those who do evil to you. It is even harder to bless those who despitefully use you and abuse you. However, the power of blessing brings with it the power of GOD to change hearts. We are called to bless and not curse. The LORD is not in the cursing; He is in the blessing.
Growing up in Christ requires a new way of thinking and responding; we are to love unconditionally, have compassion for all, have pity and be courteous, show hospitality and comfort. As we grow up in Christ, we become more like Christ, as He changes us more and more into His image.
Bless, knowing that you are called to this, that ye should inherit a blessing from GOD.
