>God forgive me, I absolutely hate these people.

Forgive them, and God will forgive you.

Matthew 6:14-15 makes it clear you won’t go to heaven without forgiving them.

I used to work with an ex-con who when sentenced to 14 months in prison, had it set in his mind that when he got our, he was going to murder his ex-fiance.

BUT!

Someone got to him, and got him started on praying for his enemies. So he prayed for his fiance every day.

At first, it was quite mechanical, his prayers for this woman who in his eyes needed to die.

BUT!

His heart softened over time, and during that time in prison, as he continued to pray for her, the murderous feelings toward her left.

He was let out of prison a new man, and moved on.

Jesus told us to pray for our enemies, but I don’t remember where he said WHY to do so.

I have just given you an excellent reason to pray for Obama and the Communists. Plainly, so you can ...

1) obey Jesus
2) be a child of the most high, who sends BLESSING on the just and the unjust, just as the Father sends rain to the just and the unjust

Now, go and do likewise.
