Pray for them

Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. 1 Peter 3:9

Dear Brothers and Sisters, in our fallen world, it is often deemed acceptable by some to tear people down verbally, physically, spiritually or even cyberlistically to get back at them if we feel hurt. Peter, remembering Jesus’ teaching to turn the other cheek (Matthew 5:39), encourages us to pay back wrongs by praying for the offenders. In God’s kingdom, revenge is an unacceptable behavior, as is insulting a person, no matter how indirectly it is done.

Rise above getting back at those who hurt you. Instead of reacting angrily to these people, pray for them.

I love you all,

Elder J.A. Vazquez
