- | ** ...** | + | ** Input from the Lord ...** |
+ | The main purpose of these lines is not to declare your complete defeat to your enemies. It does | ||
+ | not tell you never to fight. But it tells you to take your enemy serious as a human being. It | ||
+ | tells you to start a relationship, | ||
+ | It does not tell you to be naive or blind! On the contrary, it tells you to open your eyes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You cannot understand the command, when you do not start to understand living as a believer, | ||
+ | as a kid of God. Giving in means to let things go - and that is one of the basic steps you | ||
+ | need when you come to faith. God is giving us life, he is giving us dignity, all this earth is | ||
+ | his. So we can let go, he is the Lord, he gives, he provides, and he has made more beauty on | ||
+ | this planet than we can ever comprehend! | ||
- | + | When I think about my enemies, I feel more like falling ill. I feel the wish to leave and go away. | |
- | + | Is the command touching our feelings? Or is it talking about decisions only, about action? I | |
- | + | think it is talking about everything! And it is challenging us, to go to the Lord himself, and | |
+ | ask him for his spirit, for his transformation, | ||
