Love your enemies

1 Peter 3:15-16

 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

Some people we choose or would rather avoid because of their negative speaking. But sometimes their negative speaking is a cry for help. That they are lost and negativity is the only way they know to cry out. Through their encounter with you (the believer) the Love of God can and will flow over into their lives. Even if you don’t see it, have faith that it is.

Manna for thought: Don’t be so quick to write someone off. It’s possible that you are the only light that they have in their lives. Love those that hate you.

Matthew 5:44 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 ;
