       The more we give, the further God’s grace will be lavished upon us. And God makes sure we have everything we need as a church so that the church can then offer more and more good works toward others. The Apostle Peter has told us, “Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing” (1 Peter 3:8, 9, ESV). Times are going to come when someone does something that we don’t like, something that is against us. And at that moment, we are going to have a choice to make. We are going to have to choose to be kind toward the person, and not retaliate or return whatever they did to us with an evil of our own. God’s wants us to show kindness toward another with love, even when the person doesn’t deserve it. Remember, there have been times when you have done things against others yourself, and you have had to rely and hope for their kindness. By being kind to each other, it causes us as a group to be blessed.
