Matthew 5:40-48 … God’s perfect LOVE<br />
(03/08/2011)<br />
Please read the following passage (Matthew 5:40-48) carefully:<br />
“Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you might<br />
be Children of your Father in Heaven; for He makes the sun shine on the evil and on<br />
the good, and sends rain to the righteous and to the unrighteous. If you love only<br />
those who love you, what reward do you have? Therefore be complete [in your<br />
Love], just as your Father in Heaven is complete.” ~ Jesus Christ<br />
Now please read it again – this time Care-fully; noting while you do so that<br />
the word commonly translated as "perfect" in the last verse is more correctly<br />
translated as "complete" – i.e. without exception; referencing the Love that only<br />
comes to us when it works through us; the Love that only works through us when we<br />
actively Care for those who are causing us annoyance or distress &/or pain.<br />
Amen … Let it be so.<br />
