But I say to you, love [that is, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for] your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
MATTHEW 5:44 AMP

Hallelujah to the King of Kings for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.
This scripture is part of the first teachings that Jesus Christ did. A very tough directive given by Jesus Christ! Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
This is certainly a difficult thing to do by our own strength, it is the grace of God that can enable us to love our enemies and pray for those who seek our downfall.
May sufficient grace abound towards us such that we can live to love those who seek our destruction, May the Holy Spirit energize us. May the Lord help us to pray for our persecutors and fulfil all righteousness in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.
