When my enemies hurt me, I know I need to pray for them. Jesus told us to love them. It's difficult, but I ask for help in loving them and ask God to love them, because it is hard for me. I want God's forgiveness, so I ask Him to let me be forgiving and loving to others. When I give it all to Him, He helps me to be loving. I still struggle, it's a constant prayer. I strive for a pure heart and pure mind, I can't do it alone. I am so grateful the Jesus loves me unconditionally. I Corin 13 tells us what love is. This is a reality check, when we search our own hearts for what love is in our lives. It’s amazing how we know we are to love others, this way we can reflect God’s love.

I'm just reading this on the 9th but I guess the theme for me today is "don't be judgemental" because I've heard it several different ways this weekend from several different sources. I've learned that means that God is trying to get my attention and usually because I'm needing to apply the message to my own life! I've been praying for my enemies for a while now but when I stop and really think about what I'm praying for them, it's usually not to know God more and more or the way I feel I know Him. In my reading today, I was lead to Luke 17:20, "For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you." The kingdom - His kingdom - faith, hope, love, joy, peace, life, strength, healing. How can I not wish that for anyone - even my enemies. Thank you for reminding me to think about how I'm praying and forgiving someone who has hurt me :) Tami, thank you for being so honest.
