Stay calm and let God

"They called him every name in the book and he said nothing back. He suffered in silence, content to let God set things right. He used his servant body to carry our sins to the Cross so we could be rid of sin, free to live the right way. His wounds became your healing. You were lost sheep with no idea who you were or where you were going. Now you’re named and kept for good by the Shepherd of your souls."1Peter 2:23-25

GOD IS SO GOOD!!!! WOW 1Peter chapter 2 is such a blessed read. Ive been meditating on this chapter for couple of days now and its such a blessing every time. Its crazy, the bible. You would think if you read one chapter or one verse every night for several nights, that it would get boring but wow, how it is not!!
These verses really spoke out to me this week because I was beginning to struggle with getting angry towards people who did not seem to be thankful for other people's good deeds. You know those people that are just never happy, even if they are blessed with so many things in their lives? I know i once was that person at one point in my life. Never looking at the things in front of me that I already had, and being thankful about those things. But always focusing on what i do not have, what i could have but didnt, for whatever reason.

But even if there are these unhappy, ungrateful, and unthankful people around me who dont appreciate the things that they are blessed with. I came to know that i do not have to be angered or heated by these people. You see, because i was trying my best to love on everyone, but it especially became hard when that person was just never happy or ever thankful back. Not even necessarily thankful to me but just to people around them you know?
And it clicked as soon as i read this verse because, we as followers of christ are called to live a life that is Christ like. Which means, we will go through and have to endure the same trials and hurtful comments from people that Jesus had to endure. However, just as Jesus endured these things by staying silent and just continuing to show love, ultimately letting God set things right. We too can stay silent and continue to show love no matter what circumstances we encounter because we have the insurance that the Lord of all things, the ultimate Judge, will set things right when the time comes.
So brothers and sisters, dont be discouraged if the people you're showing love onto do not return the same kind of love back. If they even show the complete opposite with hateful words and actions, continue to show love just as our Father Jesus did. Because He will set things right! :D

Dont try to get revenge and set things right for yourself! Instead, let God!
All we have to do is love unconditionally, just as He has and is doing and will continue to do!

wow and the last verse.
"His wounds became our healing. We were lost sheep with no idea who we were or where we were going. Now we're named and kept FOR GOOD by the Shepard of our souls."
Wow. I dont even think there even needs to be any explanation to that because that verse says it all.

WOOOOOO God is so good. ALWAYS AND FOREVER!! Thank you Jesus for being so great in our lives!!
