Good morning, everyone!
Today I read Luke 6-7, and I want to focus on just one part of it.
Luke 6:27-29 - "But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. Whoever hits you on the cheek, offer him the other also; and whoever takes away your coat, do not withhold your shirt from him either.
Wow. That doesn't sound easy. But all things are possible with God.
In addition, even if this is hard at first, it gets easier with practice. One day, I realized that letting people make me angry wasn't really bothering them at all. So, I decided to try not to react with anger.
It doesn't always work. But it's a lot better than it used to be. Now, if someone is grumpy and picking at me, I can usually regard it with humor (or even pity, depending on the situation), and not let it bother me.
I'm still working on this, though, and sometimes it's still a struggle. But I'm learning.
Have you challenged yourself with something similar? Let me know in the comments below.
I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read Luke 8-9.
