I Love My Enemies

I Love My Enemies

Psalms 25:8-9 (AMP)

"Good and upright is the Lord; therefore will He instruct sinners in [His] way.

He leads the humble (meek) in what is right, and the humble (meek) He teaches His way."

 

There are  some people who loathe us,

Keep gentle to them,

Hatred will confuse themselves.

There are some people who are jealous with you,

Keep doing good things to them,

Jealousy will stress them.

  

 There are some people who talk angrily when you have different arguments with them,

Keep listening gracefully,

Anger will make them short of breath.

-KEEP SPIRITED TO DO GOOD THINGS-

Proverbs 25:21-22 (AMP)

"If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;

For in doing so, you will heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord will reward you."

Footnote of Proverbs 25:22 (AMP):
This is not to be understood as a revengeful act intended to embarrass its victim, but just the opposite. The picture is that of the high priest (Lev. 16:12) who, on the Day of Atonement, took his censer and filled it with “coals of fire” from off the altar of burnt offering, and then put incense on the coals to create a pleasing, sweet-smelling fragrance. The cloud or smoke of the incense covered the mercy seat and was acceptable to God for atonement. Samuel Wesley wrote:/ “So artists melt the sullen ore of lead,/ By heaping coals of fire upon its head:/ In the kind warmth the metal learns to glow,/ And pure from dross the silver runs below.”

Happy Sunday! God bless you!
