Love Your Enemy…

Love Your Enemy…

The best way to treat your enemy…is with love. That is what Y’shua tells us to do throughout the Gospels.

Matthew 5:44-45 says. 44 “But I am saying to you, you must love your enemies and you must pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you would become children of your gather, the One in the heaves, because He makes His sun rise on evil and good and rains of the righteous and unrighteous…”

Luke 6:27 says, “But to you who are listening I say, You must constantly love your enemies, you must do good for those who hate you.”

John 15:12  “…This is my commandment, that you would love one another just as I have loved you…”

Romans 12:20-21, 20 “But, if your enemy hungers, you must continually feed him: if he thirsts, you must continually give him drink; for doing this you will heap coals of fire upon his head.” 21 I do not overcome evil by doing evil but I overcome evil by doing good.

As hard as it is sometimes, we need to practice loving those who want to hurt us. When we do, we are showing everyone that we are true disciples of Y’shua. This is important because we are judged by others for our actions. Do we practice what we preach or do we jump into the flesh when we are wronged?  

Here is a little thought to keep us all humble. God loved us even when we were still His enemy and He still loves us when we continue to do things that hurt Him! Have a blessed and wonderful day, my friend. May there always be Shalom in your heart and in your home.
