Daily Scripture
Today I would like to look at Matthew 5 verse 44-47
44)But now I tell you: love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
45)so that you may become the children of your Father in heaven. For he makes his sun to shine on bad and good people alike, and gives rain to those who do good and to those who do evil.
46)Why should God reward you if you love only the people who love you? Even the tax collectors do that!
47)And if you speak only to your friends, have you done anything out of the ordinary? Even the pagans do that!
If we pray for our enemies instead of avenging ourselves, we will overcome evil by doing good. Jesus tells us to love our enemies and we must treat them well. If we do this we will show them that Jesus is truly God in our lives. We can however only do this when we give ourselves to God completely as He is the only one that can rid us from our natural selfishness. We must pray that the Holy Spirit will help us to show love to our enemies.

So deep and beautiful. Always looking forward to ur analysis of different scriptures. Loving our enemies, praying for them and gently inspiring them to be good is exactly what will bring peace to the world. Albeit a difficult task, it is possible to be nice to your enemies- just requires you to be selfless and move beyond your selfish and ulterior gains and motives. :)
