Loving Our Enemies

The more we hate our enemies, the less we look like Jesus. On the cross, He prayed for those who mocked and killed Him. To love like Jesus is to treat our enemies better than they treat us. Loving those who hate you keeps their hate from taking root in your heart.

Be Intentional About Joy

Life isn’t meant to be endured—it’s meant to be enjoyed. Hardship is inevitable, but joy isn’t. Be as intentional about creating happy moments now as you are about preparing for rainy days. Postponing joy briefly builds discipline; postponing it too long breeds despair.
