REDEEMED on Nostr: "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them ...

"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you."
— Matthew 5:44 (KJV)


Heavenly Father,
Your love knows no bounds, and Your mercy reaches even the hardest hearts.
Today, I ask for the grace to follow Your Son's words:
Help me to love my enemies, even when it's hard.
Teach me to bless those who curse me, and to speak peace where there is conflict.
Give me strength to do good to those who hate me,
and the courage to pray for those who mistreat and persecute me.

Soften my heart, Lord, that I may reflect Your light,
and let my actions be a witness to Your kingdom.
Shape me into someone who loves not just in word, but in deed —
just as Christ loved us, even while we were still sinners.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
