Reading: 1 Peter 3:5-7: "Holy woman of long ago who had set their hopes in God beautified themselves with lives lived in deference to their own husband's authority. For example, our "mother", Sarah devoted herself to her husband, Abraham, and even called him 'master'. And you have become their daughters when you do what is right without fear or intimidation. Husbands, you in turn must treat your wives with tenderness, viewing them as feminine partners who deserve to be honored, for they are co-heirs with you of the "divine grace of life", so that nothing will hinder your prayers."
Honor
With family, with friends, with workers, with strangers, each one is of value in the Lord's sight.
When we become "married" into His grace and relationship we also become co-heirs with His family--those we know deeply personally and those we have never met.
We are called to respect others. Not only outwardly but within our hearts. To replace negative anger with compassionate hearts--no matter the sorrow.
We need His protection and guidance when facing physical or verbal danger.
His honor will show us how to see each one as created into the Lord's mercy.
He will guide us through to reach His definition of honor that heals.
