Jesus said that the greatest commandment is to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind” (Luke 10:27) There is so much hatred in this world right now and perhaps it may sometimes feel to you that it is not easy to truly love. There may have been many times in your life when you have been hurt or abused by people. It is so easy to give in to hate. You will find many to support you in hating. People who love to gossip and slander others will usually be the kinds of people who will support you in hating those who have hurt you. The devil feeds hatred. Jesus calls satan the “father of lies”. He says “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”( John 8:44) Jesus commands us to LOVE. Even when it is so hard to love others we must work on this every day as Jesus said, “Love one another; as I have loved you” (John 15:12) The devil will always tempt us to hate, be offended, feel sorry for ourselves and never forgive those who have hurt us. When we work on obeying the commands of God the Father and the Son, daily life will automatically become more and more miraculous! Fill your heart with love for God and this love will pour into you more every day and you will start to love others more easily. I pray for your healing, well-being and transformation from loving God and you receiving His mighty love! In Jesus’ mighty name, with love, Kelly Newton-Wordsworth
