"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children 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 5:43-45 NIV
The first thing that comes to my mind when reading this is the most recent incident involving a school shooting. A boy killed 3 kid's and wounded others. The mother of one of the those killed has said that she already forgives her child's murderer. WOW! I'm sure many of you are thinking that is just crazy. How could someone forgive someone else for this kind of act? Well, if they walk with Christ they have stood by His word just as in Matthew. We are to love them all; God is the one who will bring justice about and not always in our time. We never know what is going on in someone else's life that brings them to horrific acts such as this. It's not our problem to understand it; it's our job to pray for them and love them and to trust that God's Will is in motion. Before that child was even born God already knew the day he would be called home!
I see so much un-love on facebook it's such a shame. The really sad part is that one day I'll see an individual post something spiritual and then the next day they're angry at the world and someone who did them wrong. I am so glad Christ does not treat us this way. We can stand firm on His promises because they don't change with the wind. -CiCi
