Love for Enemies
Matthew 5: 43 ‘You have heard that it was said, “You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy.” 44But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous. 46For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax-collectors do the same? 47And if you greet only your brothers and sisters,what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
The heart of this passage to me is the verses I highlighted. As soon as John one of my team mate in leading this reminded me what the theme of the day was I remember the ending line of " Le Misrable which is: to love anohter person is to see the face of God" So very true.
If you have not please see Le Misrable. I highly recomend it.

Ohhh I wish I could have sat in for that devotion. I have not seen this new version of the movie yet but it is on my list to see. I absolutely love that last sentence: quote about loving someone-is to see the face of God. Very cool :)
