Highlight Passage: … 1Peter 3:8-9 [NLT]

…   8 Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude. 9 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.  

… The Apostle Peter calls on fellow Christians to show Christlike love and love to others to receive God’s blessing by avoiding anger and sinful selfishness.

My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread from Nancy Gavilanes  … USE THIS LINK   wrote about a man, named Denis, who started up a candy company and was asked by a potential investor how many employees had quit because of hating their job; … to which Denis said, “None;” … because in Denis’ workplace, he knew all their names and treated the employees with respect and kindness.

And the ODB author today showed that work principles, as in the candy company, worked as God teaches.  And if my readers have taken in the linked song and meditated on the Scriptures above, which call on us Christians to take a more Christlike approach in dealing with others, our world would be treating others with Christlike love and kindness.   And I’m, for one, for that … BIG TIME!!  How about you?

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank you for showing us how to live for others as You lived for us. 

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, … for helping us to live for others as You lived … and died … for us.   …  Amen
