As I struggle with my emotions in the very battle I face I end up this morning reading Matthew 5. I have asked the Holy Sprit for wisdom and understanding in this process yet I seem to end up in an argument in my head every day. Jesus basically lived this out as He states here in Matthew 5, that you should be kind to your enemy.
To be honest I have no idea how He did it. As He hung on that cross beaten, tortured and humiliated He still asked God to forgive the very people that put Him there. Then who am I to have anger towards my enemy and to condemn my enemies in my head. Who am I to think myself above my Lord. It is a humbling verse and truly difficult as my worldly self wants retribution and vengeance when God says we should turn from anger and vengeance is His.
My dear friend, as we face many trials and most of them are initiated by people, we should not turn to anger and say the wrong thing. Jesus said: Blessed are the merciful, forthey shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
Have an awesome day.
