Do you ever win arguments that happen in your head? We all do! When someone does something that hurts us, we all want to get them back or pay them back, even if we don’t say it out loud. And honestly? Payback feels great. So why does Peter say to do the opposite in this letter? Well, Peter had a life-changing experience that made him see everything differently. Not only did Peter know Jesus personally, but Peter hurt Jesus, personally. Peter sold Jesus out; he totally betrayed Him. But in return, Jesus didn’t get payback. Instead, He made Peter breakfast and forgave him. Jesus showed Peter a way to live that was totally opposite from what he expected.
Today, take a moment to write down the things people in your family or friend group do that hurt you or get on your nerves. What would it look like for you to show extra kindness when that happens? What would it look like to tell them it hurt you in a way that doesn’t hurt them in return?
