Love your enemies, and do good

Love your enemies, and do good

But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons 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.

Matthew 5:44,45 NIV

Fear Not...God Saves Us!

"Do not fear, for I am with you;
I will bring your offspring from the east,
And gather you from the west.

"I will say to the north, 'Give them up!'
And to the south, 'Do not hold them back '
Bring My sons from afar
And My daughters from the ends of the earth,

Everyone who is called by My name,
And whom I have created for My glory,
Whom I have formed, even whom I have made."

"I, even I, am the LORD,
And there is no savior besides Me.

Isaiah 43:5-7, 11 NASB

Great devotional sister thank you for posting this.

Matthew 6:14 is a perfect and simple example of how perfectly just our GOD is
"For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. "

Its very simple and straightforward that no one can deny it. Only the naive and foolish while try to justify themselves or excuse themselves by comparing sins. In other words, "what I did was not as bad as what he did to me!" for example.

GOD says...

Matthew 22:37-39

37Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'

"Do not fear, for I am with you;
I will bring your offspring from the east,
And gather you from the west.

"I will say to the north, 'Give them up!'
And to the south, 'Do not hold them back '
Bring My sons from afar
And My daughters from the ends of the earth,

Everyone who is called by My name,
And whom I have created for My glory,
Whom I have formed, even whom I have made."

"I, even I, am the LORD,
And there is no savior besides Me.

This is the word of the Lord.........and I am trusting in His word tonight.

Amen......Amen
