â€œYou have heard that it was said, â€˜Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.â€™ But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous."

â€“ Matthew 5:43-45

===

Jesus was stretching the imagination of the Jewish listeners. To love your enemies is to acknowledge that God loves them too. This is another way of saying that there is hope for anyone. No matter how evil or unrighteous someone may seem, the sun still shines upon them. We are challenged to live in the love of our heavenly Father, who wishes for none to perish and all to come to repentance.

Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things.

Ecclesiastes 12:12

And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

This verse is , indeed, very true. The body is frail and prone to sickness when there is too much studying and not enough spiritual contentedness. This verse reminds me, and all of us, that when we commit to studying (for our academic pursuits and or leisure), we should also give thanks to God for giving us the ability to pursue our studies, giving glory and thanks to Him above all things.

God reminds us in the proverbs time and time again that we cannot do anything ourselves, but through Him who strengthens us in our pursuits. In the pursuit of knowledge , we tend to fall into the array of thinking we know alot (i know that i fall into this category at times). It is integral that we ask God's blessings and support. We cannot do it by ourselves, and if we do try to do out ourselves, we suffer spiritually and mentally.

Proverbs 12:25-26:
25 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.
26 The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.

---

In the book of Proverbs these scriptures show us how goodness affects others in a positive way. Wickedness always leads to destruction, while righteousness edifies and builds up. Verse 25 gives us instruction on how to help someone who is depressed by giving them an encouraging word. Many people today are "stooped down" with the weight of the world on them. As Christians, we should not be numbered in that lot. We should ask God daily to fill us with His love and joy so that we rise above whatever pressures we feel from our circumstances. We can always give others a lift if we are walking in the spirit, as we will have the Lord's love and strength. Just smiling at people and giving them a kind word can make a difference in someone's life. I recall an incidence when I was checking out in a grocery store line, and I simply thanked the clerk and said, "God bless you and have a good day." Tears came to her eyes and she replied, "Thank you so much, that is the nicest thing that anybody has said to me all day." We may never know how a simple and loving word makes someone glad, just as this scripture says.

Verse 26 tells us that the consistently righteous man will live his life in such a way that he will be a good example to his neighbor, and by his actions he will be able to guide his neighbor. On the other hand, the wicked man through his evil actions of seduction will cause others to go astray. Some neighborhoods will have one family that causes trouble for the rest of the people that live there. Many times they are trouble makers and try to stir up strife between the other neighbors over something they do not like. We must pray for these kind of people and reach out and try to overcome evil with good. We can have a positive influence with Christ's help in our neighborhoods that can change the whole atmosphere of our community.

As Christians, we should not shirk our civil duties. Some Christians seem to think that we should not be a part of the world, so they never become involved in any political or civic activities. If every Christian followed this reasoning it would leave the government and administrative jobs open for only sinners and immoral people to rule in our governments. This is not what the Lord meant when he told us to separate ourselves from the world. Scripture is telling us that we are to separate from our worldly and unclean ways and that we are not to do the sinful things that those in this world practice.

This verse , a rather beautiful and splendid verse, deals with our roles as witnesses for Christ and in Christ. Given the times we are living in, dear brother and sister, we should always hunger and thirst in knowing God and to ready, expedient in living the faith. I like this verse because it reminds me that tho we (all of us) may have our own imperfections, our own sinful nature, we have hope in the exasperation of our sins--through Christ Jesus. Who lives in us who call Him as LORD and Savior.

God Bless You Always, dear brother and sister.

John 12:32-36:
32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.
34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?
35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light.

Have you ever had an argument with someone, some people? I know I have had, and sometimes I've been guilty of keeping that hostility with people I've butted heads with. However, I've realized as I grew up (and aged) that it is important to take everything (what is said about you, what is done to you) with a grain of salt. Holding a grudge and hostility for too long is not good. For the body as well as for the soul within. I've personally realized this.

This particular verse in the HOLY BIBLE tells me the importance of letting everything go, and not keeping it.

God Bless!
