Insults, Love, and Peace....

1 Peter 2 : 23 - 24

23 When they hurled their insults at him,
he did not retaliate; when he suffered,
he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted
himself to him who judges justly.
24 “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross,
so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness;
“by his wounds you have been healed.”

Insults and criticism can hurt tremendously, but because of who HE is all can be healed.. My focus is on a God fearing family today, and their strength. This family has been going thru a life changing event since 2009, but through all their turmoil they have kept their FAITH and TRUST in HIM.

1 Corinthians 13 : 4 - 7

4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant
5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

A mother’s love is strong!! When their story was published on ABCnews.com back in December 2011 the family was bombarded by insults and criticism.. Individuals telling her to take her son out of his misery.. This mother’s faith is strong, and willing to follow HIS plan. HE will call Mr. Tripp HOME when it’s time.

Numbers 6 : 25 – 26
25 the LORD make his face shine on you
   and be gracious to you;
26 the LORD turn his face toward you
   and give you peace.”

Grant them PEACE!! Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers J
