Welcome to embolden. We're through Bible scripture and commentary. We seek a bold fate. And in doing so, we share the amazing love and message of the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Hello, I'm Chris Shetter. I'm an ordinary Christian seeking a deeper relationship with our extraordinary God. Won't you join me? Hi friends, we've embarked on a journey of love through the book of the Holy Bible.
These little love notes of God's that are dotted throughout the Bible are reminders of how much He loves us and how we can love Him by loving others. I hope you enjoy this series. Today's love note from God comes from Matthew 5 verse 44. In Jesus' words, but I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
And our commentary comes from St. Augustine, that your enemies have been created as God's doing, that they hate you and wish to ruin you is their own doing. What should you say about them in your mind? Maybe, Lord be merciful to them, forgive them their sins, put the fear of God in them and change them.
You are loving in them not what they are, but what you would have them to become. I hope you enjoyed this episode of the Enfolden Podcast. Be sure to follow along so you don't miss any episode. And check out my blog at Enfolden.net.
