Love Beyond Comfort

Love Beyond Comfort

Scripture Reading

Matthew 5:43–48 (KJV)

43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Ponder This

World Changers,

This is the stretch...loving beyond comfort. Our Father is not calling us to ordinary love, but to divine love. The kind that blesses, prays, and does good… even when it’s not returned. This is how we reflect Him. This is how we express our love for and to Him.

Prayer

Our Father, thank You for showing us what true love looks like. Thank You for teaching us to love beyond our feelings and extend grace the way You do. Strengthen us to bless, pray, and do good...even when it’s difficult. We choose to receive Your love flowing through us. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
