“But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you” (Luke 6:27-8; NLT).
“If you love only those who love you, why should you get credit for that? Even sinners love those who love them!” (Luke 6:32; NLT).
Father,
Please help me
To seek your Son
In all those I find difficult –
This bitter woman,
This angry man,
This spiteful child,
And this self-centred ‘friend’,
Who only talks about herself,
And never thinks
Of asking how I am.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
