📖 Scripture: Matthew 5:43-45 (NLT)
“You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy. But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven.”
💡 Devotional:
Loving those who hurt or oppose us is deeply challenging. Yet, this kind of love mirrors God’s heart. He calls us beyond our comfort, beyond retaliation, into compassion and forgiveness. Choosing this love is choosing Kingdom living, aligning our hearts with His.
📖 Memory Verse: 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NLT) – “This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!”
