If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat; And If he is thirsty; give him water to drink; For so you will heap colas of fire on his head, And the Lord will reward you. Proverbs 25:21-22

You’ve probably heard it said that “love is a verb”, its not just words, its action, showing your love towards someone. Well, forgiveness is also a verb, and you can show your forgiveness towards someone by doing good to them.

Today’s verse may seem like a tall order…say what? Give food and drink to someone who took away everything from me? YES! Show forgiveness towards someone who hurt me to the core? YES! You might be asking how in the world can you forgive to the point of showing kindness to someone who has deeply offended you. Trust in the Lord with your heartache and pain and He will restore you friend! God is in the healing business and can heal that shattered spirit, that heart that doesn’t want to beat one more time and the loneliness that is felt from your offender. Give them over to God through forgiveness and ask Him to restore your heart so you can show the love of Christ to them and others around you.

Who’s on your enemy list? Ask God to help you forgive and show them your forgiveness through acts of kindness. God will reward you, bless you and take care of you when you exhibit His love to them! Have a blessed day!
