Pure Glory

by Hazel Straub

Yahweh commands us to love not only our families, but also our neighbors, enemies, and all the human race, because we all brothers. Demonstrate compassion, mercy and loving kindness towards all. Love is a matter of the heart with no scheming, retaliation, hatred, or hidden agendas. When we die to our rights and show compassionate love, especially to the weak and disadvantaged, the light casts out the darkness of evil.

Lord, give me a pure heart that loves in spite of how others treat me or how I perceive them. Let your love flow out of me to others, with tender compassion, in demonstration of your heart. Let me see those who are different from me with your lovingkindness and mercy. Thank you for giving me your heart, towards my family, those who offend me, the oppressed, the weak, forgotten, orphans, widows, and foreigners. Amen

“Thus has Yahweh of Armies spoken, saying, ‘Execute true judgment, and show kindness and compassion every man to his brother. Don’t oppress the widow, nor the fatherless, the foreigner, nor the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart.’ (Zechariah 7:9-10 WEB)
