Opis

"One of the hardest things we'll ever attempt to do is love people who ignore us-or who even actively despise us. Do you see why Jesus' commands to love our enemies, pray for those who persecute us, and do good to those who would do evil to us, remains so low in priority on our life's "To Do" list? It is painful just to think that we must love people who consider us so rotten. No sane person would put themselves through an emotional meat grinder, by embracing such a goal. No sane person would strive to do as Jesus commands. No sane person would leap the wall that protects our flimsy self from destruction, and show such vulnerability and meekness to the conniving and deceitful world, ruled by Satan. And so we must choose the apparent "insanity" of God, and choose to be vulnerable, and truly loving, even though this will, most certainly, bring us pain." This quote came from Advanced Christianity. This ebook you are considering is filled with teaching, as above, that takes you beyond the Sunday School class, beyond the sermon preached, and into the areas of the heart and mind that need to grasp how important Jesus' teaching was, given while He lived on earth. We can't even love Jesus without considering His teachings because He said, "If you love me, follow my commands." Don't worry if some of the teachings in this book seem impossible. With God, all things are possible. He, through His Holy Spirit, will give you the power to accomplish His commands. Prayer opens the communication with God, allowing Him to instruct and empower you to do as He asks. As you pray, He tells you how. This book tells you why you'd want to do such a thing. I pray it is a blessing to you.
