Bless and Pray for Them
Number ten in our lifestyles biblical principle series on how to fix the world community is to remember that hate is not good.
In times past, if you didn’t like someone, it was possible and permissible to harbor the hate inwardly and not display it outwardly. For instance, you could have disdain for a family member, but when they came around, you could smile, and say, “So good to see you today.”
Today, and back then, you’d be known as a hypocrite, you’d know it, and eventually, others would too.
How?
Leaky faucets.
We eventually and essentially leak out who we truly are over time. The consequence! Your inner spirit would eventually take a toll, and there is actually science today to show that being a hypocrite is extremely bad for your own physical health.
Avoid this, please. Back then and today, according to the Master Teacher and Lord of heaven and earth, you are to love and even bless your enemies. Yes, you are to love and bless those who curse you, hate you, and despitefully use you.
You are to bless and pray for them, even in the face of vile persecution. We already know how difficult a task this is in the flesh, but in the spirit of God, all things are possible. It may be extremely difficult to begin, but in reality so was walking, riding a bike, and driving.
The Challenge God is Getting Us Towards
However, with desire, deliberate practice, and passionate, persistent perseverance, you’ll become a blessing and praying machine, even for those who treat you very bad. Being human is to love those who love you; a dog or animal of the field can do that.
The challenge God is attempting to get us all towards is being Godly, Holy; and that is to love those who despise you, and dislike you without a cause. Love the person who tries to make things very difficult for you.
As the Creator GOD shows love to those who hate Him, we are striving for this level of perfection in our dealings and in our life. Let’s put the effort and expect the new loving result.
