It is time for us to move forward in harmony. Together, we can accomplish so much more in our homes, family, communities and even nationally.

Love Drives Out Hate

 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, Luke 6:27 (NIV) It is easy to love those who love and adore you. The real challenge comes when we have to show love towards those who you know don’t like you, talk about you, mistreat you and truly have no love in their heart for you. Loving your enemies means you will not let their evil ways cause you to turn your heart to operate out of bitterness or revenge. While you may be hurt, don’t let them pull you into their dark place. As light illuminates darkness, so does love drive out hate. This is not an easy task. Let your enemies go and give them to God. Show love and allow God’s love to flow through you. He will take care of your enemies and none of their plans will prevail. All of their verbal attacks will fall flat. All of their wicked schemes will fail. Let God’s love abound in you and through you. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon
