I’ve been thinking about the line that says “Love your enemies.” I feel like I don’t have a lot of enemies, but just off hand it would not be that hard for me to love a whole bunch of people far, far away. They may not be enemies—they may be strangers. And it doesn’t take much for me to love them.

It’s really folks near by that get a little harder for me. Someone may be aggravating. Or frustrating to work with. Or—I just can’t believe he did that. Now those are the people I sometimes have trouble loving.

Today after Bible Study we had a Healing Prayer time and one of the songs we sang went: The Jesus in me—loves the Jesus in you. The Jesus in me—loves the Jesus in you. So easy———so easy———so easy…….so easy to love.

Now that’s what I mean. Sometimes it is easy, and other times, at least for me, it’s an effort to love—and to see the Jesus in that person. I’m working on it. And I’m hoping it will get easier.
