—Matthew 5:43-48
by: Lisa Moore.
One of the hardest things to do is to love someone after they have hurt us. We put up fences and walls around ourselves to ensure that person and others do not have an opportunity to hurt us again. We may say we forgive them, but deep down the animosity and bitterness returns whenever we see them, hear their voice, or they come to mind. Is this behavior Christlike? After reading today’s devotional, can you honestly say you love everyone? If not, earnestly seek God about the situation(s) and make these verses a reality in your life. You cannot love God and hate people.
