Good morning. Sometimes we have difficulty loving the people that say they love us. So when Jesus tells us to love our enemies and pray for those who do us wrong, there’s some hesitation and a whole lot of disobedience. We tell Jesus things like; “I’m not there yet Lord”, as if he’s going to say ok whenever you get ready. Being a child of God means that we don’t get to react like the world. Being a child of God means we respond the way Jesus would respond and that we imitate Christ on a daily basis. We can’t lift Jesus up by holding grudges and hating our enemy. Jesus said with love and kindness have I drawn thee.
Matthew 5:43-48 “You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy. But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike. If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much. If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that. But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing
