Luke 6:26-28 King James Version
26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.

GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY FRIENDS!!!

LOVE YOUR ENEMIES. What does that mean? It means we show love to all we encounter, even those that we don't want to. To LOVE those who believe that murdering an unborn innocent child is OK, the person who firebombs, vandalizes, assaults a pro-life protester, and gets away with it. To show Christ like compassion and mercy, to the drug addict, drug dealer, homosexual, person who is doing a “drag queen story hour”, and yes even the Atheist!! It means my friends, that when we're tempted to strike out, and respond in a vengeful way, we give these people to the Lord, and ask God to soften their hard hearts, through us showing love and compassion to them. What a bitter pill for the Christian to swallow!!

I was incredibly challenged by the questions from this morning's devotional, because it got me to thinking about just what it means to love my enemy, while still maintaining my boundaries, and I'd like to share these questions with you tonight. Please read these questions very carefully, and I pray that God will speak to you through them, as He is doing for me.

When's the last time someone extended love to you when you weren't “positive”?

What's a tangible way today that you can show love to an enemy?

Right now, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me from His Word, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I say will resonate with you. I pray that it will motivate you genuinely to show love to those that you're not comfortable with, and learn to realize that God truly loves the world, and in his strength we are supposed to do the same. Come join me in this vlog and learn just what it means to love your enemies! 😊

My prayer for all of you my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, is that you will think very long and hard, about what it means to show love to an enemy, and that you will ask God to show you tangible ways in which you can do so. Most of all, I pray that you will be willing to show and express God’s love, compassion, and mercy to those who hate God and Christianity, so they see the REAL Jesus in us! To be an extension of God’s grace and show His love and mercy to all we encounter, even those we think don’t deserve it. Especially the ones who hate and despise you!! I pray that you will choose to be God’s instrument of mercy to those who hate you, and that you will allow God to use you to be His light in the darkest of hearts and be willing to show His love and mercy to those who need it the most.

UNTIL FRIDAY:

HAVE A VERY TRANQUIL EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
