“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you.” Matthew 5:43-44
Key thought:
Each of us is a child of God—and none of us is perfect. Still, God asks us to aspire to perfection by recognizing the fallibility of others, and not punishing them for it. By ‘being the bigger person,’ we honor His desires for us.
Suggested practice:
Offer your prayers today for anyone who may have misjudged, mistreated, misunderstood or even mocked you. Ask for God’s strength to turn the other cheek the next time it happens.
