Love Turns Enemies Into Friends

Lord
Pierce the darkness that my enemy brings to overshadow my dreams
With the light of Your promises

Lord
Help me to tear down the curtains of sin
that prevent my enemy from seeing Your light shining through my life

Lord
Flood my heart with love toward my enemy
To flush out the revenge that is trying to be my friend

Lord
Help me to remember I once was lost in my sin

Lost
Help me remember I once was your enemy

Lord
Help me to remember it was your love that delivered me from death to eternal life

It was your love that changed an enemy of God
into a friend of God

Lord
I want this heart of mine
to turn enemies into friends

Lord
I want this heart of mine
to open up the door to tell them about The One
Who can deliver them from death and to give them eternal life

    Thank you for taking the time to coment on my poem entitled: Love Turns Enemies Into Friends. The golden rule for a Christian is it is ok that the world might be offended by Christ, but we should not offend people with our conducted. The reason we must be reminded is because the world is under the same code of conduct,or serves the same master as we do. So the world will put our faith and obedience to Christ to the test,but if we stand firm in the comand to love your enemy who hates you,bless those who curse you, and pray for those despitefully use you. Only can this obedience of our can God use as a tool to change the heart of our enemy, and maybe our enemy will transform into a friend.
