His Word

Day 118 – Matthew 5:44

But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.

Matthew 5:44, NIV

I know that loving your enemy is not an easy thing to do. Yes, you may feel so disappointed inside because of the things that they did in your life. You receive so much pain from them, and you feel so broken. But despite what they did to you, God wants you to love them. Just continue to do good things for them, and do not stop praying that God will open their hearts so that they will encounter His love. Imagine that you are doing it for the glory of God. You will reap the harvest one day. Your Father in heaven will bless the seeds that you planted in their hearts, and He will make it grow. Let God use your life to bless others. Let Him reveal to you what His love and grace are all about.

I pray that you will always choose to love your enemies despite all the pain you encounter because of them.
