St Matthew
5: 43- 48 ...You have
heard that it was said, “Love your neighbour and hate your enemy. But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who
persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the
good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing
that? And if you greet only your
brothers, what are you doing more than others?
Do not even pagans do that? Be
perfect, therefore, as your heavenly
Father is perfect.
Jesus tells
us to love our enemies. How are we to
love our enemies? Think of times in
your life when you loved your enemy.
What happened?
Prayer: Great God,
when someone gives us a hard time
may we uphold that person to You in prayer. When someone says something that hurts
us, may we uphold that person to You in prayer. Enable our hearts and our voices to be
encouragers and not discouragers. This
we ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.
