A New Commandment -John 13:34

So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. John 13:34

This is hard but not nearly as hard as this one :     

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’  But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,  that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?  And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?  Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Matthew 5:43-48


This one is really hard to do. Especially when folks persist in being rude and disrespectful.  Or even outright hateful and mean. I for one need help with it. My husband is needing help with it right now too. I'm praying for that help. Please add your prayer for us and all gods children. We need it these days more than ever.
