I have called you to inherit My blessing.

1 Peter 3:9

not rendering evil for evil, or insult for  insult; but instead blessing;
knowing that to this were you called, that  you may inherit a blessing.

In   this Scripture passage, the Apostle    Peter is encouraging us not to   repay evil for evil, but rather be a    blessing instead. If we are   living with an orphan perspective, we will    have to scratch and claw   for everything we get in life. When people do    evil things to us, we   will need to respond in the same way back to  them.   The life of an   orphan is lonely and scary. An orphan is left to  their   own devices to   manage life.

The life of a son or daughter    however, is quite   different. They know that they are loved beyond    imagination and are   safe from harm. They live in the reassurance that    they are blessed   beyond measure and that they have a rich inheritance of     many   blessings yet to come. In Ephesians 1:3, the Bible says that our Heavenly Father has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heaven.    The life that we are called to live is a life of abundance and     blessing.

That  is why when someone acts in an ‘orphan-like’   way  to us,  even a  brother or sister in Christ, we don’t have to   respond in  a  similiar  way, but we can respond with blessings. May   each one of us be so filled   with  the revelation that we have been   called to inherit a blessing,   that we  become an absolute outflow of   blessings to others!
