BE PERFECT AS ABBA FATHER!
BE PERFECT LIKE YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER.
"Jesus said to his disciples:
“You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.
“But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.
For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? Do not the tax collectors do the same?
"And if you greet your brothers only, what is unusual about that? Do not the pagans do the same? So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Matthew 5: 43 - 48).
Tuesday 18th June in the 11th Week in Ordinary Time.
Brethren, do you know the easiest way of being perfect like our Heavenly Father? The shortcut of loving your enemy?
Pray for your enemy every day.
That is right and true. I have done it. Many years ago, three managers conspired and got me fired at a time I was very vulnerable. I had just taken a loan for a home.
I was inspired (prompted) to start praying for them. Looking back, I call this inspiration a miracle. At my send-off party, two of my "enemies" were there. They shook my hands and remarked that I was always cheerful.
So forgive your enemies at once.
Start praying for blessings on their lives immediately.
Continue praying for them until you feel that the poison of bitterness has completely been drained from your system.
