Doe a deer

These ladies blend into the background real well. I almost didn't see until one of them moved. I finally got some non feather models this past week. :)

[Jesus said,] "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven." -- Matthew 5:43-45

One of the greatest privileges we get is the opportunity to act toward those who dislike and hate us in a way that reflects the character of God himself. Anyone can return hate for hate, but it takes a child of God to return a blessing and a prayer for his or her enemies. Believe me I know first hand this works. Those who do you wrong will expect you retaliate, but if you don't or act as if nothing happened, you will discover something very pleasing to God. It is a honor to Him.

Father, thank you for loving me when I was still an enemy to you. Thank you for risking the death of your Son to offer me the chance to accept or reject your love. As you have promised, please pour your love into my heart so I may love even my enemies as you have loved me. In the name of your ultimate Gift of love, Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.

Maranatha

God Bless.
