IT'S ALL ABOUT LOVE

Matthew 5:43-48 "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.

Lord, You are the source of love which makes You the perfect example of how to love others, even our enemies.   Father this dark and sinful world has skewed the meaning of love, to the point of emptiness. Lord, fill our minds with the Word and our hearts with Your love.  Lord, You have lavished such great love on us, that You receive us as Your children. Father, we have a heart of gratitude because You have given us the same inheritance and rights as Your Son, even though we are still sinners. Father, help us become a student of the Word and teach us how to live a life worthy of Your calling. Father, let us forsake everything that keeps us from following Your Son. Lord. Let Your light shine on us who loves You and fill us with Your joy as we walk in righteousness, in Jesus name Amen
