Pain that brings you closer to God is always better than any comfort that keeps you away from Him.

Jesus said, “I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.” Matthew 5:44 

“A pretty tall order," you say.  Perhaps, but definitely within the realm of possibility. The ability to love, bless and forgive is within us—because the Holy Spirit is within us. He enables us to display this kind of love. The world needs to see real love. The kind of love that Jesus displayed. He forgave those who nailed Him to the cross. Let’s love like Him, serve like Him and forgive like Him. 

Pray : Holy Father, Help us to love like You. It's impossible with our own strength, but I ask that You fill our hearts with Your love, and let that love overflow to others. In Jesus' name, Amen.

So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Galatians 5:16-18

“The devil may try to use the hurts of life, and sometimes our own mistakes to make you feel it is impossible that Jesus really loves you, is really cleaving to you. This is a danger for all of us, and so sad, because it is completely the opposite of what Jesus is really wanting, waiting to tell you…he loves you always, even when you don’t feel worthy.” ~St. Teresa of Calcutta

“But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.”

- 1 John 4:4 NLT

Ephesians 3:18 'May you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love is.'

The Lord Jesus wants each of us to grasp how great His love is towards us. You are valuable and precious to the Lord and He loves you. He laid down His life to redeem you. I can never comprehend, how this great God could die for me, a sinner. The above verse says we need His power in our lives to begin to understand this great love.

May His power work within you so that His love will be a reality in your life!

PRAYER: Lord, give me a revelation of Your love for me. May I begin to grasp and understand this great love and may it change my life forever. In Jesus' Name I ask, Amen.
