Pondering Point

Our theme for the week can be a disquieting one – loving those who hate us or mistreat us. It may dredge up feelings of rejection, betrayal, or disappointment. John’s blessing of “Peace to you” is easy among friends, harder among those who rub us the wrong way, hardest among those who hope to see us falter or fail or die.
But don’t let your enemies or struggles define you. Let your Father and Savior Jesus define you and strengthen you against enemies.
