God Today Devotions
But I say to you,
love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate
you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you. It is no easy thing to forgive those who have hurt us much less love them. Sometimes it seems like an impossible task. Our thirst for revenge fuels our anger and will lead us down a lonely and bitter road that is easier to get to than to return from. God loves all of His creation. God's love isn't something we earn it just is. He loved us before we loved Him, before we knew Him. He loved us at our worst. His love and mercy have been extended toward us and we have received it freely. Just as freely we must let go of our anger and allow the Holy Spirit to tend to His business of dealing with their hearts and we must continue to love. God will heal and restore our hearts and lives. Love never fails. Prayer Lord forgive us for holding on to anger and allowing it to make our hearts bitter. We choose to let go of the anger and resentment and place it in your hands. Let us do good to all regardless of circumstance not looking for anything in return. Take us beyond our natural tendencies for revenge and fill our hearts with your unconditional perfect love. Holy Spirit minister to their hearts. Amen. To subscribe to the GodToday
