But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you and bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. Luke 6:27-28 NIV Bible Gateway
Are you really truly supposed to love one another? Does this mean friends who stiffed you over political beliefs or opinions? What about a friend who says mean hurtful things to you? What about when you are misunderstood by a comment you wish you had never made?
The enemy, Satan, likes to get you fixated on bad stuff and if you continually dwell on hurts from the past that is where you will stay. No matter what a person did to be ugly even if they don’t ask forgiveness you are to forgive them regardless. Sounds strange but God said it not me.
Charge ahead each day thinking good and happy thoughts. Start with prayer and read some scripture to get your day going. Don’t allow the enemy to squish you into a depressed angry mode or you may end up there, beat him at his game. Rejoice and be kind to those who hurt you.
PRAYER:Today I say thank you for friends and family. I pray for relationships that need to be healed. I pray for misunderstandings to be cleared up. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
