"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"
- St. Matthew 5:44
Dear Friends,
It is always right to do right, meaning we never have an excuse to do wrong. Jesus tells us if we love those that love us what thanks is there in that, even sinners do the same. We are instructed by Jesus Christ to love everyone. This is not something we are expected to do on our own. We are empowered to do so through the Holy Spirit. It is possible in the strength of Christ when we relinquish our will to His.
The hymn writer penned: "Lord I want to be a Christian in my heart. Lord I want to be a Christian in my heart. In my heart, in my heart...Lord I want to be a Christian in my heart." A heart for Christ, a heart where His Word is hidden and He abides will enable us to love everyone.
Jesus said love everyone.
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie
I love Jesus in my heart...
