Grace will flow like a river

Grace will flow like a river

It is impossible to hate those for whom you pray.
So pray for your "enemies";

Interesting, and how do you come to that conclusion?

I think I would have to pray for myself first that I may forgive my enemy in order to pray for my enemy from the heart. But yes, holding a grudge weighs one down, we are lifted in God's grace.

Not true.

I have no ability on my own to pray for my enemies, it is a grace. Grace is freely given to all, it is God's love, his desire to heal all, we each have the freedom to choose.

I guess you ca pray for the devil, but nothing would happen, since the devil is totally dedicated to his rebellion and hatred of God. It was a choice taken in total freedom.

We are to love God, ourselves, and others......so you are right.

having the freedom to choose was dealt on Day Six

that was not a guarantee it would be well used

We choose to be in relationship with God or others. From that the give and take is grace, based on trust, which is not easy.
