GOD SEES WHAT WE CAN'T

 







GOD SEES=WHAT WE CAN'T


Of ALL the things

That Jesus tries to

TEACH us


I think maybe the

MOST DIFFICULT is

To “LOVE YOUR ENEMIES”


I mean to TRY

And not only forgive

But actually LOVE someone


That tries to HURT US=

Sabotage us=

Or even destroy us


“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”                                                                                             Matthew 5:43-44


I can FORGIVE them=

My enemies=and actually

Have a GOOD THOUGHT

About them


But LOVING them

Is a very TALL ORDER


I try to think

About where

Jesus is actually

COMING FROM


The only thing

I can think of

Is that


GOD SEES

WHAT WE CAN'T

That God sees some

GOODNESS in them

That I cannot

Maybe that WE cannot see


Look to God=

LOOK deep within your heart


For the capacity 

To forgive

For the CAPACITY TO LOVE

LOOK TO GOD!


“Those who LOOK to him

Are radiant


Their faces

Are never covered

With shame”                                                                                                      Psalm 34:5


“Let your eyes

LOOK straight ahead=

Fix your gaze

Directly before you”                                                                                         Proverbs 4:25


“For everyone LOOKS out

For their own interests=

NOT those 

Of Jesus Christ”                                                                                            Philippians 2:21       


Dear Lord=we PRAY

To you today

For strength


That we CAN

Not only forgive our enemies

BUT LOVE THEM


Help us to pray

FOR OUR ENEMIES=

Who don't-

Have good intentions

Toward us

And not only forgive=

But also LOVE THEM


“You prepare

A table before us

In the presence         

Of our ENEMIES


You anoint my head

With oil

My cup overflows”                                                                                              Psalm 23:5


Dear Lord=Help us to

SEE WHAT YOU CAN SEE=


THE GOODNESS in our enemies-

And not only forgive=

BUT LOVE THEM


In Jesus' name=and the name=0f our EVER FORGIVING FATHER
