Bless Your Enemies

From the book God Calling (www.twolisteners.org )

April 25 – Bless Your EnemiesSay often, “God bless . . . ,” of any whom you find in disharmony with you, or whom you desire to help. Say it, willing that showers of blessings and joy and success may fall upon them.Leave to Me that necessary correcting or training; you must only desire joy and blessing for them. At present your prayers are that they should be taught and corrected.

Oh! If My children would leave My work to Me and occupy themselves with the task I give them. Love, love, love. Love will break down all your difficulties. Love will build up all your successes.

God the destroyer of evil, God the creator of good — is Love. To Love one another is to use God in your life. To use God in your life is to bring into manifestation all harmony, beauty, joy, and happiness.

“But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you,
do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which
despitefully use you, and persecute you.” Matthew 5:44

Love your enemy

Many of us  don’t like the people who hate us , or the people disregard us, the ones who never care about us, i have found my self, doing so, i used to say ” that guy rejects me, i will never care about him , or care to talk to him, or this girl think that i am worthless to talk to, then who cares, i don’t care about even looking at her ” , i guess every one of us was rejected before, even if i think that why that man or that woman did so, sometimes our negative feelings makes us say i don’t care at all about him , he can go and die, what do i care. that’s a part

the other part is that the people who hurt us, when someone hurt us we always think that we should hurt him the same, or because someone hates us , we should hate him or her too, but this is wrong, no one likes to be  hated by anyone, if a man hates me , so why do i be like him and hate him, why do i lose my love to people and let my heart be invaded by hatred because of him,

Jesus wanted us to love who hates us, and to bless who curses us,  jesus was hurt , beaten cursed , crucified ,and betryaed by his own people, his own sons, his handmade, and yet he said, my father forgive them , they don’t know what they are doing, not only he wanted them to be forgiven, but he loved them too

at the end, be aware of the feeling of heatred, or just pale feelings ,towards those who harm us, or hurt us, because those kinds of feelings should be replaced by love, as jesus told us , to love every one, the reason i wrote this post is that i found that there are many people that i don’t love and don’t care about because they don’t care about me , i have found my heart including those feelings, without knowing about it,

so let’s be aware of the kind of feelings we hold in our hearts, they should be love and only love,

and if you are hurt, then forgive as jesus said. and you are the one who is victorious, and you will draw people to you with your love, even if they hate you.

that’s not my words, that’s what jesus said

in matthew 5

 43“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44But I tell you: Love your enemies  and pray for those who persecute you, 45that you may be sons 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. 46If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
