REFLECTIONS 🙄

Love your adversaries
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 who despitefully use you and persecute you;

An adversary is your enemy or someone who hates you. It is easy to love your friends and loved ones. But how do you love someone who always makes sure you do not get what you want?

But that is what the verse from Matthew 5:44 directs us to do.
The bible says love your neighbor as yourself (Mark 12:31)

God will not ask you to do what you cannot do. You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you (Philippians 4:13)

As a junior in school do not hate or seek revenge for seniors who abuse you. Romans 12:17 say
Recompense to no one evil for evil…..

At work do not plan to sabotage work by finding a way of getting an excuse duty when there is a lot of work to be done because your work is not appreciated. Galatians 6:9 says do not grow weary in well doing because you will be rewarded in due season if you do not grow weary. (Paraphrase)

In the work of ministry do not seek to seen and commended always. Matthew 6:1-4
God sees what you do in secret and will reward you.
God be with you.

Suggestions for success
1. Reflect on the way you relate to people. Find a way of showing those who seem to dislike you that you love them. You could offer to help them whenever you can.

Prayer
Let this song be your confession

I love you with the love of the Lord 2x
I can see in you
The glory of the Lord
I love you
With the love of the Lord.
Amen
