We won't forget 9-11 but we must forgive,pray, and love our enemies. What???



None of us will ever forget the attacks on our country 14 years ago today. It still is painful as we watch the loss of innocent life because of peoples hatred of our country. We must look to God's Word for guidance and what to do. Here are two things:

1. We won't forget but we must forgive:

Matthew 6:15
But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

2. We must also pray for our enemies:

Matthew 5:44
But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,

You see as bad as the enemies of the USA hurt us we must remember they are lost souls. On their way to hell if they do not come into a relationship with Jesus. We must pray for them.

We are also told to love them....wow! We can only do this through the power of God, the Holy Spirit. Yes it can be done and for followers of Jesus we don't have a choice!

So this day while we remember 9-11 let us also forgive, pray, and love our enemies all the way to Jesus!
