"If your enemy is hungry, [then] give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, [then] give him water to drink.In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the Lord will reward you.'"Proverbs 25:21-22
Easy to say “love your enemies” but are you really doing it? Who are your enemies? Think about all the junk Jesus endured yet He has no hatred in His heart for his oppressors. None! Whew!
The love we must have for our enemies is supernatural love which only comes from the Holy Spirit. If you say you love God but hate your brother that is not real love. You have to ask God to help you love others through His eyes and with His strength.
Ask God to help you not ‘go there’ when it comes to hating. You may get angry with certain people and how they are trying to change our nation into a pigpen, or you may get angry at those who are perpetuating lies being accepted as truth but your job is to love and pray. Period. Just do it.
PRAYER: Lord I confess that there are those individuals who I may feel justified at classifying as enemies yet you want me to love them. Love is transformative. Give me supernatural ability to love the unlovable. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
