For GOD is pleased with u when, for the sake of your conscience you patiently endure unfair treatment. Of course u get no credit for being patient, if u r beaten for doing wrong. But if u suffer for doing right and are patient beneath the blows. GOD is pleased with you. This suffering is all part of what GOD has called you to, CHRIST who suffered for you, is your example. follow in HIS steps.
1 Peter 2 v 19-21
HE did not retaliate when HE was insulted. When HE suffered, HE did not threaten to get even. HE left HIS case in the hands of GOD, who always judges fairly.
2 v 23
We might have to wait our whole lives to hear those longed for words, Im sorry! And some may never hear them, but we have JESUS. HE knows how to wait it out patiently.
Remember that patience is the fruit of the Spirit.
Gal. 5 v 22
When we need patience to wait through heartaches, misunderstandings and hostility, we have JESUS!
When we need patience to wait for an apology that may never come, we have JESUS.
Patience is LOVE willing to wait out frustration, yes, for this we have JESUS!
Don't repay evil for evil. Don't retaliate when people say unkind things about you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what GOD wants u to do and HE will bless you for it.
3 v 9
But even if you suffer for doing what is right. GOD will reward you for it. So don't be afraid and don't worry!
V 14
So if you are suffering according to GOD's will, keep on doing what is right, and trust yourself to the GOD who made you, for HE will never fail you.
4 v 19
In HIS kindness GOD called you to HIS eternal glory by means of JESUS CHRIST. After you have suffered a little whie, HE will restore, support and strengthen you, and HE will place you on a firm foundation. All power is HIS forever and ever.
Amen
