Greetings Everybody! By loving and praying for our enemies, we can overcome evil with good. Love is not a feeling or sentimentalism, but a commitment to imperfect people to seek their highest good which often requires sacrifice. Loving people, especially the unlovable to us will glorify our Father in heaven.
“You have heard that it was said, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
- Matthew 5:43-45 New American Standard Bible
Why would Jesus say this? Because love is the most powerful weapon to change the heart of another person. The Bible says, “We love each other because he loved us first”. Someone must choose to love, in spite of past failures. When we do that, we’re acting the way God acts. Jesus says, we are to love our enemies. If you love your enemies and treat them well, you will truly show that Jesus is Lord of your life or, acting as “true children of our Father in heaven.” What a wonderful thought.God Bless and have a great day.
Thank you for stopping by:-)
Peace and blessings, God bless us all :-)
