A Promise For You From Bible Promises:
Topic: In Hatred, Show Love
For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? Matthew 5:46
How would you love someone that tell it to your face, I hate you, even with passion. Or someone that said to you, Until you die, I wouldn’t be happy, someone that said, You will never back your child or give a suck. And whenever you want to pray, his/her face with those words flashes your mind and your prayers truncated. Even when you manage to pray, those prayers are directed to that person that displayed his/her hatred to you as enemy (not directed at the major enemy – Satan). Smile! It’s painful to love those kind of people right, isn’t it? Oh yes, it is. But, it’s easy to pray for them, rather than pray against them as commanded by the Lord Jesus.
But then, showing love in the midst of hatred situations is not an optional statement but a compulsory command. Forgiving and praying for those that display their unreserved hatred to you is mandatory for every child of God to obey, this is because, retaliation not only will it hinder your answers prayers, it will also stop you from going to Heaven. Showing love in hatred makes you perfect as your heavenly Father who forgive us daily our sins. He make sun to shine on both evil and good. Ask God for grace to love always in all situations.
* No man (no matter how wicked) can resist true love. Show someone love today.
