Stop worrying about Your haters; Jesus had some real haters. Judas betrayed Him for thirty pieces of silver; the Pharisees lied on Him knowing He was innocent. Even His friend Peter denied Him, not once, but three times with an attitude. Not to mention the Chief priests and the elders took counsel against Jesus to put Him in jail, knowing He did nothing wrong. Then they delivered Him to Pontius Pilate, who was the governor. The Governor wanted to release Him because of the dreams His wife suffered, but the people He fed, healed, and saved chose a murderer named Barabbas instead. Then the soldiers stripped Him and put Him in a scarlet robe, and put a crown of thorns on His head. They spit on Him and mocked Him, then stripped and beat Him. Then they nailed Him to an old rugged cross and crucified Him. Now with that being said do you care about your haters, if so get over it, Jesus did?
Father, You told us to love our enemy and pray for those who persecute us, but we cannot do this with our will, we need Your strength. Lord, we want to be a part of Your family in heaven so please help us obey Your command. Father, it is easy to love those we like, but to be rewarded we must learn how to love our haters as well. Lord, help us greet all with kindness and not just our families and friends. Lord, we are not perfect, but we want to be submissive in Jesus divine name Amen
