Matthew 5:43-48 New International Version (NIV)
Love for Enemies
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
It’s all about the attitude. Let’s try to live in peace with each other’s. That sounds so liberal to some people. They would much rather have discord. Conflict is their life. If they are not angry or putting down somebody then their world is incomplete. This current government feeds on discontent. If they can drop hate seeds to their base, then sit back and watch them bloom, their objective is met. I pray that this outright racist behavior is not rewarded with another four years. The fact that it’s out in the open is good. It reminds us there is still a lot of hate to stir up. God I pray that we can find peace. Let there be peace, not war. Be blessed My Love and be a blessing to someone.
