At first i putting my daily journal in front of me while reading my daily devotional from internet. While waiting for this page to load, i read my own journal. Insiide my journal, i wrote something went on like this:
".....I bless my enemy. I feel very peaceful as i pray to bless my enemy. God said bless your enemy, consider others more important than you and love your neighbors like you love yourselves. It works! I realise as i pray for my oppressor, praying God to use my circumstances to build my character, I feel peace & alive!"
after finish reading above, I thought about you. I thought of sms you seeking you to bless your enemy and show love. Before i decided to send you the sms, below devotional loaded in front of my laptop. It says exactly the same thing!! BLess those who curse you, pray for those who ill-treat you.
Remember, God's way is always different from world's way. The world may say take revenge or fight back or get even. But God's righteous way say, plant love, bless those who mistreat you, sow love and you will get well. That's our Father!!
May be this is a lesson of love that God wants you to learn ? because we will continue / always meeting people who mistreated us. And how shall we respond? by Love!
We persecuted Jesus, put Jesus to death. Jesus send paul to save the us and love us in return.
