Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
Matthew 5: 44-48
Matthew 5: 44-48
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But
I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good
to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and
persecute you; That
ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh
his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the
just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Matthew 5: 44-48
The Lord has told us to show love to those who are not easy to love and we show Love to every one.
If you don't believe me and you find it hard,well listen to this saying from the newest VeggieTales Episode "Beauty and the Beat"- " I'm not perfect either,but God shows His love to me, and I'm just showing His Love to you."
Can we do the same? I think we can. God's love should shine through us. He gave us a light to share with the World, and if we hide this light under a bush we can never bring Him Glory. Love will melt the hardest hearts, it will make the ugly, kind. And God will be Glorified.
So even though we meet people with terrible attitudes, maybe they've never seen God's Love and its High time they meet someone with like You!
I haven't done a Challenge to you guys in a long time.
I Challenge you to show God's love to someone who isn't easy for you to love.
Take care my friends, have a great day or night depending on where you live.
And God Loves you so try to love others as best as you can.
And try not to do fit through Gritting Teeth. :)
