Day 8 #LightTheWorld: Love Your Enemies

      

Jesus taught, "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you and pray for them which despitefully use you."  Matthew 5:44

We often choose to do just the opposite - to love only those who love us, to take offense and avoid those who have hurt us. Jesus invites us to come follow Him and His path of kindness and love.  

Past president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Spencer W. Kimball counseled, "If there be misunderstandings, clear them up, forgive and forget, don't let old grievances change your souls and affect them, and destroy your love and lives." The Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball p. 243.  

The invitation by the Saviour is clear. Think deeply how you can follow His teachings today to "love your enemies."
