Love, Do Good, Bless, Pray for, Give....

Jesus said;
  • "Love your enemies".
  • "Do good to those who hate you""
  • "Bless those that curse you".
  • "Pray for those that hurt you (or, despitefully use you)
  • "Give to anyone who asks".
Jesus said each one of these to us as a direct command, not a suggestion.  Jesus demonstrated these to us by the way he lived.  I prayerfully thougt, 'Lord, you condemned the Pharisee's, how did you show love to them and how did you do good to them', and I felt the Holy Spirit answer me and remind me that Jesus died on the cross for all who are willing to recieve his free gift of salvation.  On the cross, Jesus said, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do". 
On the cross, Jesus:
  • Loved his enemies.
  • Did good to those who hated Him.
  • Blessed those that cursed Him.
  • Prayed for those that hurt Him.
  • Gave everything He had.
We have no excuses.  We are too love our enemies.  We are too do good to those who hate us.  We are to bless those that curse us.  We are too pray for those that hurt us.  We are to give to anyone who asks.

Lord Jesus, help us to follow your commands today, with no excuses.
