I bought this cute frame from the Reject Shop for $10 and used Canva* to design this quote art. It would make an awesome decor item for your room or a great gift.

Luke 6:27-28 says, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. Verse 32 goes on to say, If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.
We've all heard these verses before but probably don't apply them to our own lives. Christ calls us to a love that is counter-cultural, revolutionary. This love is not easy but it is powerful. So what does this mean? Normally we go out of our way to avoid these people, but I think we need to go out of our way to be kind to them. Who do you have to love?
My hairdresser asked me what I did on the weekend recently and I told her that I'd been to the footy and done the housework etc, but I didn't tell her I'd been to church. I felt bad immediately afterward as I knew I had missed an opportunity to acknowledge God and possibly talk to her about Christianity. Matthew 19:32-33 says, Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.
It's not that I disowned Christ, but I certainly didn't acknowledge him. We don't have to Bible bash people, but by saying that we believe in God and living lives that reflect that, opportunities will arise to talk to people about him. I love the idea of breaking up with fear. |
