A Time for Loving Each Other

Jesus meant it when He said, ""A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." The book of John in the New Testament tells us this in chapter 13. But it seems so difficult at times. Times such as now when kind discussion among those on the opposite side of an issue is almost impossible.

So how do we accomplish this kind of love? Only through prayer, asking God to change our hearts.

It is so appropriate that the theme for this year's National Day of Prayer is "Love One Another". Let's just pray for our enemies today and in a way that honors God. Jesus also said "Love your enemies". Hmm- Could it be this is what makes real followers of Jesus different?
