Day 29

Read Matthew 5:43-48

"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 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. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect."


1. Are there people in your life that are difficult to love or accept?

2. Do you need to experience more of Christ's love and acceptance so that you can love and accept others for who they are? If not, what prevents you?

3. Is there anyone you know that needs to experience the love of Christ?

4. Pray specifically for someone that you haven't accepted as they are.

5. Ask God why that person is so hard to accept? Can you do something about it?

6. Journal any thoughts you may have.
