Disarm Our Hostility #615

                     DISARM OUR HOSTILITY  615

     "If we could read the secret history of our
     enemies," wrote Longfellow, "we should find in
     each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to 
     disarm all hostility."

      It is easy for most of us to love someone,
      but it is probably difficult for any of us to love
      anyone, all the time.

      In a week's time we may find some who will "rub
      us the wrong way" by something they do or say."

      If their life's history were flashed before us
      perhaps we would be less quick to judge harshly,
      or condemn severely.

      O God, Give us, Thy grace sufficient enough
      to disarm all our hostility. In Jesus name, Amen.
