Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. — Luke 6:28 KJV
Bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. — Luke 6:28 NIV
Thought and Reflection
Without the example of Jesus the commandments make absolutely no sense. However, Jesus shows us the importance of putting our fate to our Father and Creator. This suddenly makes complete sense.
What’s the most effective way to beat an opponent? It’s certainly not to beat or kill the person. Instead, the best way to overcome our enemies is getting Jesus grace win their hearts, and having their character reflect that of the King!
My Prayer
Heavenly Father, I ask You to ease my heart and strengthen my determination so that I can love like Jesus loved me. My life should be transformed for those that disapprove the idea of abhorring, ridiculing and despise me.
Help me my dear Father to lead others to the mercy of Jesus. I Jesus mighty name I pray. Amen.
