PSALM 119:1-8 MATTHEW 5:43-48 Holy and Gracious God, You are the ground of goodness and love us without end. Your teaching is hard for me to hear, and the protests bubble up in my throat. And yet my heart cannot deny the truth in your calling, to change, to turn around and inside out, to overflow the bounds of my smallness, to walk upright in your light. Lord, help me in my resistance to shed your love on my enemies, from within and without, to usher in your reign of perfect justice and peace. All for the love of your son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
