WHY BLESS THOSE WHO HURT YOU

Today’s Scripture:
“…Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.”
(Luke 6:27–28, NIV)

SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS

It’s easy to be good to people who are good to us. But what about when someone does something deliberately to hurt you? It’s easy to get bitter, hold a grudge, talk bad about them, and think about how you can get even with them. That’s almost everywhere, we easily become what negative people have easily extended to us because the nature of a man is always protective and reflective.

Why would Jesus say that we should bless and do good to those who hurt us when they don’t deserve it? Because you’re not blessing them for their sake, but for your sake. The mercy and kindness you show others is the mercy God’s going to show you. When we decide to be responsive to the ways and manners everyone around us try to act on us, then we won’t be focus to do the will of God because our heart won’t be balanced.

If you’re bitter and angry, you’ll get stuck. Life is too short to go through it with bitterness poisoning your heart and your life continuously. If you’ll let go of the hurt they inflicted and still willing to let go of more as they come by living out of a place of forgiveness, out of a place of wholeness, you’ll not only feel better, but that’s what allows the Creator of the universe to go to work and take you higher.

A Prayer for Today:
“Father, thank You for all the mercy and forgiveness and protection You have shown me when I’ve done wrong. Help me to do good and bless those who have done me wrong. I am leaving them in Your hands and believing that You are taking me to new levels. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
