Love Your Enemy

Well, as with most weeks it was Hectic but now I'm in a Happy Place! At the beach with those I Love Most! Christian and I will get to go to one of our favorite Guest Churches today and next week. As the hectic week progressed I had a couple bumps in the road... I often talk about All of Us Loving More! The thought of the week is Love Your Enemy! My hope is most of you don't really have any ENEMIES! I don't think I do. But the point is, it is MUCH Easier to Love those Close to You than those you are at odds with... regardless of what the Odds with looks like. Driving down to the beach yesterday I had a momentary... well a couple moments of Road Rage... In MY Eyes totally justified... LOL, I was RIGHT! It doesn't much matter now does it. So many times when we feel Wronged by someone or something, we want to Lash Out. If we slow things down we will realize it really is not as much about us as we think. This does NOT mean we are to let people walk all over us, or take advantage of us Physically, Emotionally or Any other way. But if we respond to bad with bad we are Wrong! Bottom Line, Empathy and Love from Us will make YOUR life better... It will make you feel better and be better in the eyes of God! "When we choose to love and pray for those who don't deserve it, we are transformed." Have an Awesome Sunday and a Great week!
