Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;


That is one of the hardest things to do, for me anyway. Someone said something to me that was really ugly on face book. I hardly know the woman, have never laid eyes on her. I was speaking to David about getting on with his life. This woman whom I wouldn't know if she bumped into me on the side walk said, That I should grow and that I should get my own life straight before giving any more advice. Yep, I was just a little knocked backward, trying to understand why she would say such a thing. She obviously doesn't know me at all. I have a life that I love, and I believe myself to be pretty mature. Although, all that know me, know that I love to kid around. I really hope that she didn't mean my cancer, when she was speaking of getting my own life straightened out, because that would have really been a double dose of mean.

It took me a while to realize that I needed to pray about it. If you'll like me, you don't want to go to the Lord in prayer while you're mad. But in my case that was the exact time I needed to pray. The first thing I asked for was forgiveness for my anger. Then I asked for peace about the whole situation. I kept praying until I found forgiveness in my heart toward the woman.

You know keeping hold of anger can really, really hurt you health, but most importantly it can hurt your relationship with the Lord. I thank God that He has showed His love and mercy unto me, and has helped me have a forgiving heart.

Until next time, God bless and God save.
