We are a people of grace! Our words should also be seasoned with grace. Who can you encourage on this day? Who have you torn down with words of death? Ask forgiveness. Speak words of love. Think on that which is lovely and good and true and just.

Yes. There is injustice, but Creator Yahweh will take care of that. We are not to take revenge. It is Creator Yahweh’s right to avenge and he will do it at just the right time, and not a day late. What if he had taken revenge on us before we gave our lives to him? Would justice have been served better? No! Perfect justice and perfect love met at the cross.

Let us be a people who encourage one another with words of life.

Eagle People … Today’s reading is 1 John 4:18-21. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”
