Acting like our Heavenly Father.[ Matthew 5 v43-48 ]

Continuing on in 1 Kings 17,we have the death of the widows son ,in her grief she accuses Elijah of making her feel guilty,of bringing to mind her past sins,she saw the death of her son as a judgement. What does one do when people accuse us of all sorts of things?well what did Elijah do, he prayed for her. Our Saviour taught in Matthew 5 v44, that we are to love our enemies, to bless them that curse us,to do good to them that hate us,and to pray for them that despitefully use us, and persecute us. Who said being a Christian was easy, we are being told to act against our natural feelings,to act in a spiritual manner, and as we do this we are acting as our Father in Heaven acts, to the population of this world, day in day out.[ Dear Heavenly Father grant us the grace to act like You in every situation in Jesus name Amen ]
