That's tough right? I know it is. Have you ever had someone that is just doing you wrong. Maybe your mother, father, sibling, baby mama, baby daddy, ex wife or ex husband. Someone that you must have communication with, not just an old friend that you may never see again. Well that person comes and ask you for prayer, or just wants to talk to you. Something that we should be doing for them anyways according to Luke 6:28 (New International Version (©1984) bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.)
We are to be Christ like so that means we should unconditionally love the one who wrong us. Jesus laid down His life for us yet we are so unfaithful. (1 John 3:16-18 ESV reads: By this we know love, that He laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.). I'm not saying we should die for someone, or even be walked over by someone. But we need to put away our foolish stinking thinking and look beyond their faults and see their need. They need forgiveness, and some may need salvation. God expects us to show and demonstrate love, not only with our mouth but help a brother, sister, mother, father, or even an ex spouse in deed. And with the love and kindness in our deed we can draw them into the kingdom of God. (Jer. 31:3) It might take some time and we may not even see them once it happens, but they need you and don't forget someone had to draw you too.
Woman Highly Favored of God
