Can you imagine being taken from your family and country then
becoming a servant to the commander of the army that took you? This happened in
2 Kings 5. A young girl was taken and was given to be a maid. It ends up being a great story of healing but
I want to focus on the impact of this nameless girl.
For most people if they were in this situation the last
thing on their mind would to love the people who took you from everything you
knew. But this girl sees that her master has leprosy and instead of hating him
or talking behind his back, she tells him that there is hope for his leprosy.
She tells him that there is a prophet in Samaria that could heal him.
This is crazy! She is literally helping and having
compassion on the enemy! What a crazy radical love she displayed. Because she
did love, her master was totally healed of leprosy, experienced the power of
God so much that he would never serve another God again. What an impact her
love and compassion had! He was the commander of an army and friends with the
king! I can image her master told everyone what God did for him. Those who knew
him before could not help but notice his healing. He was a walking, talking testimony!
Generations were impacted…A because of a girl who didn’t let hate blind her.
That is powerful!
Do we love those who have hurt us? Are we willing to look
past those things and just love? In our
Well it could change everything, it could impact
generations. When people experience God, change will happen. So we have to be
willing to lay down our pride, bite the bullet and love. Our enemies might
laugh in your face, totally ignore you or even kill you. With love, nothing is
wasted.
We are to love because God first loved us. We love people because
God loves them. How dare we not love those who are precious to God?
Whatsoever Think
