Matthew 5:44 " But I say to you: Love your enimies; bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you." -- Theses are the words said by our Lord Jesus, Our example that God send down from Heaven. The fact that we are to love our enimies, bless the ones that curse me, do good to the ones that HATE me, and pray for the ones that uses and persecute me, well that definitaly takes the Lord in my heart to do. Even with Christ in my heart it is a challenge for me. I think that my prayer to start needs to be " Dear Lord, Please give me a heart to be genuine when I pray for my ENINMIES,those people that CURSE me, those who USES and PERSECUTE me. Without you LORD there is not a way that I can do this.
I THESSALONIANS 5:17 "pray without Ceaseing". We are not to end our communication with our Lord. Some times its easly to lose that time of communication, but in reality, why would we not want to be in constat communication with the one who controls the universe. I know for me God is the one that is always there for me. Through thick and thin, He is the one that is always the constant. He is there when my husband is at work, when my best friend is not around, when my mom is busiy, MY Lord is ALWAYS there for me. What a Great blessing to have him always there. I need to make sure that I am always communitcating with out times of cease.
