2Cor 8:1-9; Psalm 146: 2-9; Matthew 5: 43-48
giving
themselves
first to God
they experienced
joy
and generosity
flowing
even through
their poverty
and affliction
and the miracle
of love
even of enemies
and prayer
for persecutors
for this
we praise
and keep faith
in the Lord
who gives
justice
as love
Do you love your enemies?
