SERVING OTHERS: The Gospel of the Sermon on the Mount is one of Jesus’ hardest teachings. During this week, re-read the Gospel and take some time to see how this can apply to you or one of your relationships. Is there someone you can pray for and love your “enemy”? Can you bring your relationship with that person before the Lord and ask to be shown how to demonstrate love to that person in order to reconcile? Have you tried to write a note or letter to that person?
