Love, love, and more love. 

God is against those who do evil. God hears the prayers of those pursuing peace. 

1 Peter 3:8 (NKJV)

Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous;

Sometimes it's hard to think of ourselves as evil. When we retaliate that is evil. When we use language to hurt or degrade someone that is evil. 

1 Peter 3:9 (NLT)

Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will grant you his blessing.

 

God allows us to be angry but instructs us not to sin (Eph 4:26). 

1 Peter 3:10-12 (NLT)

“If you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies. Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it. The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right, and his ears are open to their prayers. But the Lord turns his face against those who do evil.”

We are called to not only search for peace but pursue it to maintain peace in our surroundings. 

God's word is not dependent on our mood or our feelings. 

Forgive quickly. Don't allow anger to cause you to sin against God. 

Be blessed and know that Jesus loves 💞you!
