A prayer for you.

The Bible says, "Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you, and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven"

~Matthew 5:44-45.

I am sharing the truth of Scripture with those who are in error about it.

That is showing love and doing good to those who oppose the clear teaching of Scripture.
