Writing 1 Peter 3
Good morning. This is a chapter that I can look into myself and see how I am doing. My strengths and where I could use a bit more help. I do like how the writer focuses on each spouse separately, but then focuses on us all.

1 peter 3:8-12

let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit;

let him seek peace and pursue it.
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are open to their prayer.
But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”

1 peter 3:18
Christ suffered on this earth for me so that he might bring me to God. Doing His will is just a small thing I can do to say thank you for all that He did for me. If He had not came to this earth, suffered, and died, and was raised, then I would not be able to brought to the Father because of my sins. What a blessing.
Guess what….. He suffered for you too.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!!
