You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’  But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. (MAT 5:43-45 NIV, 3-11-14)

I don’t hear Christians quote this much. Seems we’re in a culture war and loving our enemies has gone out of style. Of course, I can’t help but wonder if that’s one of the reasons we’re losing the culture ‘war.’

[Father, help me to love my enemies–including the people who have decided to make themselves my enemy.]
