But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also. And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 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, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

Our world is full of moral soundbites. At first blush they sound good, but are they biblical? Join us in this Abide plan as we meditate on what God's Word actually says about many of the well known "Golden Rules."
Harboring unforgiveness can have a detrimental effect on our lives – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Withholding forgiveness from others and even ourselves robs us of the best life God has for us and can give way for bitterness to take root. In this 4-day devotional, we look at the topic of forgiveness and what the Bible has to say.
Discover the transformative power of love in this devotional, emphasizing that our love for others shouldn't be contingent on their treatment of us. Be inspired to LOVE HARDER, mirroring the unwavering, profound love Jesus showers upon us, even when our love falters.
