Thanks, Gretchen. I think my problem is that I don't want my heart changed in this matter so I will have to work on that.
Therein lies the beauty of the thing, McLynnan! You don't have to want your heart changed, you only need to want to obey His Word, which tells us to love our enemies, and do good to those who despitefully use us, and from that motive, ask Him to change your heart so that your heart will want to love your enemies. Does that make sense? This was one of the most revolutionary things ever to come alive to me! When my straying, disobedient heart hates God's ways, He doesn't leave me in them! He gave me the way of grace out of my own ways. I just have to ask for the grace to want His grace, and when the Holy Spirit moves on me, then I need to respond.
