Love Your Enemies
"Love your enemies! Do good to them!" Luke 6:35 (TSLB)
Jesus taught his followers a new way to treat people. Usually when people hurt you, you want to hurt them back. If people don't like you, you don't like them either. But Jesus tells us to love our enemies. It's never easy, but Jesus can help you. If you do good to your enemies, you could change your life and theirs - forever.
When someone is mean, I pray that I'll find
Love in my heart and strength to be kind.

The Peace that Jesus Gives
"[Jesus said,] The peace I give isn't like the peace the world gives. So don't be troubled or afraid." John 14:27 TSLB
When you feel calm and peaceful, it seems like nothing can bother you. But sometimes all it takes is an annoying brother or a rude sister to take that peaceful feeling away. Just remember, though, that Jesus can fill you with the kind of peace that will never go away. The peace Jesus gives makes you feel safe, calm, and happy - all at the same time. You can feel this peace even when your brother is bugging you or your day isn't going right. It's a peace that lasts and lasts.
The peace Jesus gives me does not disappear.
No matter what happens, it's always right here!
