Today’s Thought “Are We Saying, It’s Too Difficult for God?” G. Ward

Matthew 5: ⁴³ “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ ⁴⁴ But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

It’s more apparent than any other time how mankind, even those who profess to know Christ, lack pursuit of HIS attitude (Phil.2:1-5). Our Savior was unwaveringly decisive in portraying eternal pursuits while living in a temporal land and whereas the difficulties of HIS exposure involved scenarios appearing attractive – He’d resist with a goal in mind, involving you.

The love our Savior speaks about is synonymous to all HIS enemies would offer HIM – a horrible crucifixion and upon such a tumultuous death in view, He prayed for them to be forgiven. For any now (*particularly believers) to persist in such anger that dismisses others for their every opposing view, even issuing tags so offensive unto their perceived selfish plights – truly misrepresent belonging to Christ. I don’t have to like anything the world presents, but while wrongful assessment occurs periodically, I must adjust to realize HE died for me when I was entirely disagreeable (Ro.5:8), giving me His blessed Hope, despite who I’ve been. Can anymore be changed?
