“They buried Avner at Hevron; the king wept aloud at Avner’s grave, and all the people wept.”
2 Samuel 3:32 CJB
Here we see David’s enemy Avner is dead, but instead of celebrating, David mourns! Do we weep for our enemies, do we pray for them or do we condemn them!
“But I tell you, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!”
Matthew 5:44 CJB
It is real easy to love people that we love and care for, it is harder to love someone who persecutes you or reviles you!
“Don’t take vengeance on or bear a grudge against your people; rather, love your neighbor as yourself; I am Adonai.”
Leviticus 19:18 CJB
Adonai really does desires us to love our neighbors as ourselves!
We all need to be careful of holding grudges, taking vengeance or trash talk about people!
“Don’t plot harm against each other; and don’t love perjury; for all these are things I hate, says Adonai.”
Zechariah 8:17 CJB
So, let’s love people around us today! Understand with all the turmoil in the world, it really could use some love!
Have a blessed day loving people!
Shabbat Shalom!
