you are always faithful

just as i was flipping through the bible looking for some verse for the family t-shirt, god just showed me this verse.

matthew 5:43-48

Love for enemies

43 you have heard that it was said,.' Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'
44but i tell you :Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
45 that you may be sons 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.
46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?
47 And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?
48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly father is perfect.

though i still need sometime to digest this, but i'm sure if god has given me this verses to read, he will help me to understand what it says and i will do what jesus tells me to do, and that is to love my enemy (:
