The Lord so sweetly reminded me today that my loyalty to Him is more important than my loyalty to my job, my friends, or my family. If any of the above leads us to compromise our obedience to the Lord, then we have gotten out of balance. Are you struggling with someone that is hard to love? The Lord tells us to pray for our enemies, to bless and curse not, to not return evil for evil,but good for evil. The last thing we want to do sometimes is bless those that curse us. We think that we have to feel like praying for that person first before we do it. But that is not true. When you least want to pray for someone is when you most need to do it. You have to beat your flesh into submission and say,”Lord,by faith and out of love and obedience to You, I choose to pray for this person.”If you wait till they deserve your prayers, more than likely, you will never pray for them. Not only do they benefit, but this is the best protectant over your heart from becoming bitter, holding offense towards someone, or breaking fellowship with the Father. So Lord, You are always worthy of our obedience. By faith, we choose to bless those that have hurt us, broken our trust, lied about us, have taken advantage of us, have broken promises, have abused us, or anything else that has caused us to let sin creep into our spirits through unforgiveness or bitterness. We lay it all at Your feet and we give it to You. There is no one in this world worth breaking our fellowship with You over. So please guard our hearts and protect it from anything entering into our spirits that is not from You. In Jesus Name, amen.
