Love Without Limits

Matthew 5:38-48 is an active call to love our enemies and go the extra mile in serving others. We're reminded that God's love extends to both the righteous and unrighteous, just as the sun shines and rain falls on all. This divine love sets a new standard for us - one that extends beyond loving only those who love us in return. This passage invites us to reflect on our own hearts. Who do we consider 'off limits' for God's love? Are we allowing our hurts and prejudices to block others from experiencing God's grace through us? It pushes us to move beyond our comfort zones and natural inclinations, encouraging us to love as Christ loves - without limits or conditions.
