God has not promised skies always blue, flower-strewn pathways all our lives through; God has not promised sun without rain, joy without sorrow, peace without pain. But God has promised strength for the day, rest for the labor, light for the way, Grace for the trials, help from above, unfailing sympathy, undying love.”
Annie Johnson Flint, American poet, 1866-1932

“Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink…. 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” Romans 12:19-21 NIV

Today, Ann’s post “How Would Jesus Pray?”(Seeking Divine Perspective) hit me so hard! Wow! This was my answer to prayer as I sought after God’s heart in preparation for this post. You can read Ann’s post here: https://seekingdivineperspective.com/2021/02/26/how-would-jesus-pray/
When we look at how the world is changing, and as we watch America’s enemies tear down our Christian heritage right before our eyes, do we think to follow God’s command to pray for our enemies? Jesus said,
“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,” Matthew 5:43-44 NIV
If you’re like me, that isn’t easy to do. I hope the following testimony of God’s love and grace will be the encouragement you need to believe that God can change anyone’s heart. Nothing is too hard for God. This is one story of thousands where God softened the hardest of hearts.
Let us pray for our enemies, believing in the power of All Mighty God to save and transform lives. Let us do it in obedience to God’s will.
With Love, Cindy
