Matthew 5:44
But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
Sorry, one and all, I am not feeling well today. This blog will most likely be short and sweet. In my defense though, the scripture kind of speaks for itself.
God was pretty direct and to the point here. You must love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. This does not let anyone off the hook. This does not mean you are not allowed to be angry or hurt. God is in no way disregarding your feelings or even telling you they don’t count. No, He is trying to help you heal.
We can only begin to heal when we learn to let go of the other person. The longer we hang on to the pain, we are giving them control over our lives. When our feelings are in control, we are not.
I would like to add this is not a one-time done and done type of thing. Old records will begin playing in your head. When they do this is the perfect time to shut them up by loving your enemies and praying for them.
Lord, when old records begin to play in my head, remind me to pray over them instead of play them. ~amen
