1 Peter 3:8 "Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble."
Christians are sometimes the worst. We have a tendency to turn on each other and shoot our wounded. If we disagree with someone, we attach. If others say something we don't like, we pounce on them. Peter shows us another way. Peter tells us to live in harmony and love each other as brothers. We are to be compassionate and humble. There is no attacking, slandering, gossiping or malice in Peter's words. Now I can't control what any of my Christian brothers and sisters say and do, but I can set an example and model this kind of spirit. I can be sympathetic, I can be compassionate, and I can be humble. As a leader, it is up to me to be 1 Peter 3:8 to those around me.
