Hatred/Enemies

 

Hatred/Enemies

Matthew 5:43-48

“But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:44,45

There are people in our life that we may not like, and people who may not like us. Not everyone can be of the same mind and pleasing to each other.

When we look at the people we don’t like; try looking at them through God’s eyes. God loves that person as much as He loves us. God created that person and has placed them in our lives for a reason. Maybe it is to teach us patience, or maybe it is to make us look inward at our own selves. Either way God is telling us to love our enemies, do good to our enemies, and pray for them. We don’t have to like the things they do, but we do have to love them.

If God can love us with all our imperfections and sinful ways, who are we that we can’t love even our enemies.

Please read the scriptures listed, study them, apply them to your life and grow in the saving relationship with Jesus Christ our Savior.
