PRAY FOR YOUR ENEMIES*

Jesus Commands Us to Love One Another!

(Matthew 5:43-44) 

Something to think about:

Jesus commands us to love God, our neighbor as ourselves, and even to pray for our enemies. You may ask, “How can I pray for my enemies?” Remember, Jesus promised: Ask and it will be given to you……….For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” (Luke 10:9-10)

For an eye opening experience, read Corinthians 13:4-7 and

substitute the name of ‘Jesus’ for ‘love’ each time it is used.

Now, read again and this time substitute your own name for

‘love’.

“ABOVE ALL LOVE EACH OTHER DEEPLY

BECAUSE LOVE COVERS A MULTITUDE OF SINS.”

(1Peter 4:8)
