“…He told them ‘You are to love your neighbor as yourself…” Matthew 22:37 CJB.
“…Then you will become children of your Father in heaven. For He makes His sun shine on good and bad people alike… Matthew 5:43 CJB.
“…If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first…” John 15:18 CJB.
Your desire is for Your offspring to be like You… that their desire would be to love, demonstrate love… Your love… in its many different forms… towards others. So, it seems from Your Word, Father, and from the real life example You lived out for us to see, Yeshua.
Born anew may this attribute of Yours, to love outside ourselves towards others, grow in us and we continually work to copy You Yehovah…Yeshua… and become more and more like You.
Just as some of mankind responds to Your love and…
believe and trust and reciprocate… and some do not…
and Yeshua… some believe and trust and reciprocate… and some do not…
we share with You the same experience… in that some will respond to our offering of Your love… and some will not.
May we not react to rejection with hating in our heart, taking vengeance or bearing grudges as You warned those in the wilderness.
Though we may be stung by rejection may that sting not poison Your love for them in us and like You, Yeshua, like You Father… we would be long sufferers” on their behalf… as Your Spirit leads.
Enable us to be that way Father. May it be a joy for us…
to be one with You Father… and with one another… we pray…
In Yeshua’s name…
Amen.
