Good morning, Lord

50 Commandments of Jesus

10. Love Your Enemies—Matthew 5:44

Matthew 5:43-46

Love for Enemies

 “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 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. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?

Good morning, Lord, we know we love because You first loved us (I John 4:19), help us love with the kind of love that goes first, without expectations of reciprocity. Help us supernaturally love our enemies, and those we might not otherwise love, loving them in ways that blow their minds, and make them very curious, curious enough to ask "what kind of love is this?" Amen

1 John 4:19

We love because he first loved us.

(FYI, the word love appears 30 times in I, II, and III John. The word know appears 28 times. If you ever feel you don't know if God loves you, read these seven short chapters, and highlight both words every time you see them! God bless)
