Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Romans 12.14
Choose Blessing
To choose love is to choose to bless all people, especially those who make life difficult for us, or who cause us pain and hurt. There is a hard edge to love, a radical unexpected aspect that responds with generous bridge building actions and words.
Stop and Think
Who are those who ‘persecute’ you? How easy is it to respond by ‘cursing’ them? What might it mean for you to ‘bless’ them?
Choose to Act
Pray for those who are persecuted and who struggle to respond in love. Choose, in your words and your deeds, to bless someone today; someone you find hard to love.
