God’s love lifts you—love others as He loves you.

In this passage, Jesus challenges us to love beyond our comfort, even those who oppose us, mirroring the boundless love of the Father who shines on all. His love is not selective but extravagant, pouring over the just and unjust alike. When we feel unworthy or harbor resentment, this teaching reminds us that God’s love embraces us fully, healing the self-inflicted wounds of bitterness or hatred. It’s a call to rise above human limits, trusting His strength to transform our hearts. As we accept this love, we’re freed from cycles of cruelty—toward ourselves or others—and empowered to extend kindness, reflecting His perfection. This radical love becomes our strength, a beacon of hope in a divided world, urging us to live as His beloved children. - Matthew 5:43-48 (Love your enemies)
