Don’t hold grudges. On the other hand, it’s wrong not to correct someone who needs correcting. ~ Leviticus 19:17 (CEV)
But I tell you to love your enemies and pray for anyone who mistreats you. Then you will be acting like your Father in heaven. ~ Matthew 5:44-45a (CEV)
KEY THOUGHT:
When we treat our enemies with grace instead of disdain we show that our Heavenly Father is living in us.PRAYER:
Gracious Heavenly Father, I'm grateful that you welcome me into your presence -- even when I don't deserve it. I have trouble being so gracious to those around me -- especially those who are out to get me or who treat me poorly. Grant that I might have your gracious heart pumping in me. My first response to bad people will be to look for ways to love my enemies. Amen.
