  2. i have been blessed so much,loving your enemy is good.Infact i have a question,i am a sda christian very muuh devoted and love my fellow brethren.My problem is this,i have assisted my brother find about Four different jobs and of late i found a job for him but after two months he resigned out of anger from frustrations from his supervisor and it happened that am senior to that supervisor,now later he wanted to come back but it was late he had written a resignation and i also said if he had resigned let him go home,besides that he is staying with a woman who is not his wife and this made me fill bitter considering the way he has abandoned his wife and children and feeding a woman who is not his wife.This brother hates me because of telling him the truth and is spreading romours that i made him loose the job.the truth is that i always pray for him but i do not talk to him until such a time that my heart will be free.Can i classify him as an enemy?for now he is back to his job but we are not in the same department.How do you love such a person who is not appreciating?

    • Ombati, thanks for your comment. I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Personally, I see no reason to classify this brother as your enemy. If he feels that way about you let that be on him. Keep being kind and polite and the best way to do that is to remember the example of Jesus as He walked this earth. I honestly believe that if you care enough to pray and ask God to make your heart right, He will honor and answer that prayer.
      Not everyone will want or receive the help offered. That's just a sad part of life. We cannot always make relationships right but we can do our part to not make things worse. Keep doing the right thing. Blessings.

  3. I came across this this morning and thought it went right along with this week's lesson:
    The happiness of life is made up of little things. It is in the power of everyone to practice true Christlike courtesy. It is not the possession of splendid talents that will help us to overcome, but the conscientious performance of daily duties. The kind look, the lowly spirit, the contented disposition, the unaffected, sincere interest in the welfare of others—these things are helps in the Christian life. If the love of Jesus fills the heart, this love will be manifested in the life. We shall not show a determination to have our own way, a stubborn, selfish unwillingness to be happy or pleased. The health of the body depends more upon heart healthfulness than many suppose. Ellen White, 2 Selected Messages, pg 237
