Matthew 5:43-44 AMP

[43]You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor (fellow man) and hate your enemy.’
[44]But I say to you, love [that is, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for] your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

That’s pretty much the opposite of what the world says to do. If you want better or to excel in your career, you step on anyone’s head to work your way up. If someone does good for you, you’ll do good for them. Instead, God’s way of success is a little different than the world. He says do good for bad. Be patient with your fellow man. Give slack to people because they are people. People do things, and most of the time we tend to notice the ugliness of humanity. Forgiveness brings oneself healing inside out, it feels really good. Do it God’s way, it’s a whole lot happier.

Today we read: Psalm 56-58, Psalm 91
