CM Update 10/17/10

Luke 6:35 -- But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.

As I read this last week, though many times before, it resonated with me just how difficult this is to do and how merciful our God is who doesn't just do this, but IS this.  We serve a God who continually sends good things to those who hate Him and those who are ungrateful for all He does.  Truly we serve a loving and kind God.  

If our God gives good things to those who are His enemies and want nothing to do with Him, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him! (Luke 11:13)  Ask the Father for an outpouring of His Spirit in your life, who will give us the ability to love our enemies as the Lord does.

In the Grace of Christ,
Pastor Alan
