There seems to be a divide between groups of people, even people within the church. We could debate the reason for these divides. However, we cannot get along if we continue to escalate the fight or deepen these divides. We need to turn to God to bring us together!
Jesus reminds us that we will have enemies. People will hate us or curse us. We may not be treated with respect. However, we cannot repay our enemies with the same behavior and expect things to change. We need to begin from a place of love and only God can give us that love. While it may not be easy, we need to show the presence of God in our lives to everyone...even our enemies!
Show God's love and blessing to everyone, even those that hate you or are your enemies!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the love that You give to me. Help me to share this love, even with those that are not nice to me. In Jesus I pray, amen.
