1 Peter 2: 1 Put out of your life hate and lying. Do not pretend to be someone you are not. Do not always want something someone else has. Do not say bad things about other people.
Peter has great advice. He tells believers to be extra cautious about the example they set for non-believers, but we are to love other Christians. We should respect the leaders, even if they don't treat us well. We should think WWJD.
I need to follow these simple rules. I don't lie, knowingly anyway. I try not to hate nor to focus on the feelings caused by insensitive people. I don't waste any time on envy. Now if I could just quiet my negative thoughts and never speak badly of others!
Prayer: Lord, make me strong and fair. Keep me from negative thoughts and words about Your people. Let me use this life to promote You.
Amen
