Matthew 5:44-48
“But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46“For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47“If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?48“Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Prayer

Beautiful Lord Jesus,

Please help us to forgive those who hurt us dreadfully.

Teach us how to truly love,

even when we don't want to.

May we want them,

to be covered with your overwhelming love.

And as we heal,

May we be drenched and your love.

We love you forever,

In Jesus's Mighty Name,

Amen.
