Matthew 5: 41-45; These verses remind us that all people good and bad are children of God.
Therefore we need to pray for our enemies. In almost every country, people of different cultures use violence to express fear and hatred of each other.
Jesus commands us to love our enemies. We need to show our enemies the respect due all human beings. Imagine how the world would change if we all lived by Jesus command instead of treating it as a suggestion. No more bombs, or bullets fired, or stones thrown. If people could agree to disagree we could work through our differences.
Can this happen in our world today? YES! If we open our hearts and minds, and we pray that God will open the hearts and minds of the enemy. With open minds and hearts we can become the kind of people worthy of the name Christian.
God loves us and God loves our enemies.
