CYFM MORNING MEDITATION ON THE 20TH OF MAY 2026
Theme: HAVE LOVE AND THE GOODNESS OF GOD
Text: 1 Peter 3:8-10
It says
"[8]Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: [9]Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.[10]For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:"
This is the Word of the Lord, Thanks be to God.
Dearly beloved in Christ good morning. Welcome to another spiritual breakfast with Our Maker. Having love and the Goodness of God my dear brother and sister as seen in our text as a child of God. What does it mean to have Love, what more the Goodness of God!!
The Love of God is bearing that altitude to care and treated others just how we too want to be treated, fleeing far away from its opposite hate which usually is characterised by envy, jealousy and evil. Vs 8 of our text says we should all be in one mind (united in thoughts), having compassion (empathy) for one another, love as brethren, be pitiful and courteous (being polite, respectful and showing concern for others). Alot here speaks about others, not you.
Usually we sing this famous song " The Goodness of God", can you go back to the refrain and reflect on its lyrics (All my life you have been faithful....). The rest of our text , tells us about fleeing greatly from evil but speaking, carrying, having Goodness so as to carry the embodiment of Yaweh's blessings as seen in vs 10. What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and loss his soul because he does not want to abide in the ways of Christ!!!
As a believer, you need clarity. You can't be hot and cold and apart from altering the lines I love God... Make sure to align it with your action. Care for one another and flee from evil. Be the reason someone smiles today, someone hopes of more because they have received the enlightenment of Our God. Live Love and Good rather than Hate and evil.
God be Your Helper
*Amen*
