Summing up: Be agreeable, be sympathetic, be loving, be compassionate, be humble. That goes for all of you, no exceptions. No retaliation. No sharp-tongued sarcasm. Instead bless – that’s your job, to bless. You’ll be a blessing and also get a blessing. [1 Peter 3:8-9 (MSG)]

It seems so simple on paper, yet so difficult in actuality. Lord, fill us with your Holy Spirit so that we can fulfill these simple instructions. Lead us; live in us, so that we can truly be a blessing to those we encounter.
