Pray for Who?

Good morning Brothers, Happy Wednesday. You are loved by the divine power of our Creator, Savior Jesus Christ who is always working everything out on your behalf in every situation so long as we believe. Start your day with faith, hope & love. Do to others as you would have them do to you.(Luke‬ ‭6‬:‭31‬). Let’s sing, Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room, And heaven and nature sing, And heaven and nature sing, And heaven, and heaven and nature sing. Today’s verse is from Luke 6:28. Bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. Most of us probably think we do a great job at loving other people. But if we're being honest, most of us probably spend our time loving those who also love us back. When there's trust built over time and common ground, it's easy to love. If you've ever been mistreated by someone, or had someone speak negatively about you, then you know how hard it can be to love that person. It is hard to love unloving people. And yet, we're to bless those who speak negatively about us, and we are to pray for those who mistreat us. If you find it hard to bless those who mistreat you, begin with prayer. How you respond to difficult people says a lot about Jesus. What's a practical way you could show love to that person today? Take a few minutes right now to pray. Ask God to help you grow in love towards those around you. If there is someone who has hurt you, ask God to begin healing your heart. Say a prayer for that person as well. Ask God to be with them, to help them, and to make a way for their heart to be softened as well. God loves you. Have a blessed day.
