Forgiveness & Loving Your Enemies.

I was watching Joyce Meyer on TV and she was talking about forgiveness. She asked the people if any of them had anger in their hearts against anyone. After the show, I sat and thought about that. Did I have resentment or anger against anyone I needed to forgive? I couldn't think of anyone for awhile and then it came to me. I have anger towards certain politicians.

I realized I needed to forgive these people and asked God how to do that. He seemed to tell me to pray for them, so that is what I did. You know what? You really can't stay mad at people you pray for. As I began to pray I thought about how these people were following evil, how they didn't care about the poor, how they only cared about themselves and money. What a terrible condition to be in! How sad. Now, I feel pity for them.

God is so wise. The Bible says not to fret yourself about wicked people. Not only that, we are to love them. I am praying they will see the light. I am praying their eyes will be opened. I am praying my anger will go away and love will fill its place.
