Love For Enemies

On Sunday we spoke about Jesus'encouragement to walk in The Way:

In terms of Luke 6:27-31 this means loving our enemies, blessing those that curse us and giving of ourselves to others.

Tough, but every much part of a comprehensive way in which we are healed, transformed and fulfilled as human beings.

One way in which we can come to the place where can do these things Jesus asks, is to remind ourselves: (1) we are all made in the image of God, (2) we also hurt others sometimes without knowing it, (3) if we take the time to stand in someones shoes, then we might react differently to their interaction with us.

All of this is summed by Jesus as He says:'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.'

My prayer for you is that, right now, you would allow Jesus make you aware of the places in your life where you harbour anger, resentment and unforgiveness and to heal you from these things. In that way, you enter a new Way of living.

Bless you, have a good one!
