But God's word says...

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

Yeah....I am well. Let's just say not to hot at that verse. In fact, tonight I was talking about how much I hate that verse. Why? because has to be one of the most frustrating, challenging, verses ever in the bible. I certainly don't want to love my enemies....thats why they are my enemies!!! It's so much easier to be mean right back at them! To stab them when they stab me. BUT GOD'S WORD SAYS, to love your enemies and pray for them. Or as I like to say, Kill them with kindness.

I wouldn't be all buddy-buddy with them or tell them all your deepest darkest secrets but I would hold back saying something when they say something rude to me or do something when they do something horrible to me. At the end of the day you gained nothing and where does it get you? deeper into a hole of stress.

This week I am really going to try to remember the 4 important words PastorFurtick gave me this sunday, But.God's.Word.Says. In the english language , the word "but" cancels out with what you said before it and replaces it with what you said after it. So I try to remember that when I start complaining about something stupid. Cause His Word has the highest authority! And He should be my priority!
