DENNIS
Good Morning. I am Dennis Gossett, Associate Pastor at Central United Methodist Church. Do you
think it is humanly impossible to love those who hate and revile you? Yet, this is what Jesus commands
of all his disciples, to love our enemies.
You and I cannot do this on our own. Loving those who hate you can only be accomplished by the work
of faith. This means that God is the only one who is able to change our heart. His work leads us to
become engaged in the most powerful instrument in the world, and that is prayer. Through prayer we
ask for God's mercy to be upon those whom we cannot deal with, and on those who are mean and
disrespectful to us. Scripture teaches that the prayer of the righteous availth much. In other words, it
makes changes.
When we pray we are allowing God to be involved in our relationships and in every area of our lives.
Prayer not only changes circumstances, but it changes us. Have you prayed for your enemy today?
