Editorial note: As you might have guess I decided to revert back to the single page format approach. I know this changing of formats can be confusing to my readership. I gave it a try on multiple page approach to this publication, and I found that readers tend to focus on the front page more than the other pages I published. So I decided to do the single page format. Sorry for the confusion this caused any of my readership. The side bar menu now just has links to other pages. Plus, the pay pal page for those who would like to send a donation to yours truly.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL
[ Love Your Enemies ] “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
Matthew 5:43-45 NKJV
