142. Are you ready to do the hard things that God is calling you to? Let's chat about loving our enemies! Matthew 5:43-38
Matthew 5:43-48
You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy' But I tell you , love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children 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 own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore as your Father is perfect.
Notes in my bible- vs 49- The emphasis in the command to be perfect is not one flawless moral nature but on an all-inclusive love that seeks the good of all. Instead of following the example of sinners who love only those who love them, we are to be like the Father in also loving those who do not love us.
It's easy to love those how love us but hard to love those that are difficult! But God is calling us to do hard things. To go against the flow, to do the opposite of the world and walk in HIS great love.
Love is a choice and can't be based on our circumstances!
Hurt people hurt people BUT healed people can also heal people through Jesus!! Loved people can love people! You get the picture right??
