Being Assured of God’s Kingdom

“Blessed are those who are persecuted for living as God’s child for they have assurance they are part of God’s kingdom.”  (Matthew 5: 10)

Lord,

   There may be those who hate me because I love you,

      But I know your love overpowers their hatred.

   Help me to love you with a love that disregards hatred,

      And love me with your love that overcomes it.

Amen
