Read Luke 6:27
"Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you."
Devotional
Everyone has someone who is difficult to love. Maybe it's someone who annoys you, excludes you, or has been unkind to you.
Jesus calls us to love even difficult people. That doesn't mean pretending hurtful behavior is okay. It means choosing to respond like Jesus.
This week, pray for that person. Ask God to help you see them through His eyes.
Maybe God will lead you to encourage them, forgive them, or simply treat them with kindness. Sometimes God changes our hearts before He changes someone else's.
