Nan reminds us that there
is spiritual war-fare in our lives as she shares: Help us to stand up and be Soldiers of Love! Help us
to battle our flesh and the world and love as You love.
Wow. Soldiers
of LOVE. What a challenge. As you ponder that challenge today you must
also be sure and:
Remember Jesus loves you
today and so do John and Al. Have a great day in the LORD.
“…..Please…..do not forget your Spiritual tie.”
Comments/Insights:
In vs. 29 the Lord tells us not to repay in kind….an eye for an eye.
Opening Prayer …. Dear Holy Spirit, open our
ears and hearts to your Word. Help us to battle our flesh, our own desires.
Help us to be the men and women You have called us to be.
Basic Scripture Truth: Verse 29: “Do not say, “I will do to him as he
has done to me;
I will pay the man back for what he has done.”
I will pay the man back for what he has done.”
In
Matthew 5, right after the Beatitudes, verses 37-48 Jesus tells us not to repay
an eye for an eye…. But to love our neighbor as ourselves…to repay evil with
good. To Pray for our enemies.
Application to
my Life: Is this hard? YES!!!! It is for me anyway. My flesh goes
against everything the Lord says here. AND the world agrees with our flesh….We
want to justify our retaliations… “He did it to me!” But the Lord wants us to
love, forgive, be kind and pray for them…Help me Lord!!!!!
Closing Prayer …. Jesus, You
told us how to live, how to love… Help us to stand up and be Soldiers of Love!
Help us to battle our flesh and the world and love as You love. Amen.
