“If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you.” Proverbs 25:21-22

Dear Lord, My natural inclination is to get even or to reject people that rub me the wrong way. I am challenged by your word here to love them boldly. I understand that if I was an ancient person it would be like giving my evil neighbor a full jar of coals for his fire if he came by and asked for them to warm his house and cook his food. It would be a testimony to your unconditional love living in my heart. I do want people to meet you. Help them to meet you in me. I trust you will bless me as I love others hugely in your name. Amen.

Strive to say with Jesus, “If you have seen me you have seen the Father.”
