Loving the Least

[marks]

Matthew 5:43-48 KJV

"Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 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; 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.


For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

How do I treat those whom I esteem the least?

“Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.” (Philippians 2:3) (KJV 1900)

How do I treat those whom I esteem the least?

With respect and politeness in ones daily dealing with them, by praying for their benefit and seeking their good.

This is particularly difficult in regard to politians from the other side!

Good point! We can all think of those we don't like, can't stand, and it's about these that I ask myself, how do I actually treat and feel towards them?

I think it needs to be with the heartfelt desire to do them some good.

Much love!
