Didn't do much today.. but found out a lot..

I cannot understand how Jesus is about to forgive those people who wanted to crucify Him.. I don't know how He's able to love His enemies.. I guess that's why He is our Saviour.. Because He's perfect.. and I'm not.. that's why I find it hard to love my enemies..

Do you think you'll be able to forgive someone who wants to kill your friend?

Do you think you'll be able to forgive someone who is a threat to your life?

Do you think you'll be able to forgive someone for walking out of your life when you need that person the most?

Do you think you'll be able to forgive someone who tries to stab you or shoots a bullet through your heart?

Can any of you do that? We're not perfect.. So I guess we all can't do that.. but Jesus is able to do that.. Isn't He wonderful? Think of things this way..

Have you ever hated a person SOOO much that you wish him/her dead? That's almost equivalent to stabbing a person or shooting a person.. if that person knew.. do you think he/she will be able to forgive you?

See how wonderful God is now?

43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shallt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you , Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven if perfect.

Matthew 5:43-48


Be perfect.. although there's a saying.. Practice makes perfect, but no one is perfect, so why practice? :) Well.. I'm striving.. I'm trying..
