Luke 6:27 (05-11-13)

"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you..."
— Luke 6:27 (NIV)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...Jesus was the perfect example of this command in his life and death. Love has such redemptive, life-changing power. While not everyone responds, many do. While being kind in our deeds and loving in our hearts to our enemies is not easy, God's Spirit can fill us with Jesus' love and help us live powerful lives of grace even in the presence of those who hate us.My Prayer...Dear God, I confess that I have trouble with a few people in my life. They seem determined to criticize, undermine, belittle, and defeat me. Please give me the character to resist their attacks and help me respond to their actions in a way that is redemptive and righteous. In the redeeming and mighty name of Jesus I pray. Amen.Devotional provided by Heartlight®
