A 2nd affirming doc-also in the same collection of WHAT'S NEW prophetic docs as the above:

Was Jesus Just Kidding?

Brenda Davis

Love My Enemy? You’ve got to be kidding!! Jesus was kidding wasn’t he? That was then not now right? He didn’t mean me did he? I don’t have to listen to this part to be a Christian do I? Nobody does this do they?

Jesus replied, “Look at the scripture.

How did I deal with Judas? How did I treat him?

How did I deal with the apostles who wouldn’t even stay awake to pray with me?

How did I deal with them when they wouldn’t listen to Mary’s account of my resurrection?

How did I deal with Peter’s betrayal?

How did I deal with Thomas’ doubt?

How did I deal with the soldiers who arrested me?

How did I deal with those who crucified me?

How did I deal with Paul who persecuted and killed those dear to me?

How did I deal with those apostles closest to me when they abandoned me in my time of need?

How did I deal with the prostitute?

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

Matthew 5: 43-45

PING LIST PING

Please let me know if you want on or off this list.

IF YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE ON IT--and didn't get pinged, please let me know. I'm using what I *think* is the most updated version, but I could be mixing up various backup copies.

Love is action, and not necessarily feeling (thank goodness, or my teens would have been put up for adoption! LOL!)

Or, according to the old saying, the proof is in the pudding.

You know you are acting with love when you act lovingly, even when you don't feel very lovey-dovey.

And that's the hard thing about the Christian walk - remembering that loving your neighbor isn't necessarily about hugs and feel good moments, but about acting with care and the knowledge that no matter how bad or wicked or painful he is, he is one of God's children, and behaving accordingly.

To do that takes the help of God.

The key is to respond to your enemies not react. Don't be a door mat for your enemies. Discern your enemies. Do not judge them. We are all the same, poor miserable sinners, beggers for grace.
