The same people who mocked Him were the ones He fed and healed. Despite their provocations, Jesus still loved them and went to the cross. Many times in life, the people who hurt you most may be the ones you love most. We can overcome all these paradoxes by looking at what Jesus did to those who hated Him. We can do the same by the power of the Holy Spirit in us. The love of God has been shed abundantly in our hearts. We can release that love against any offense. We see Stephen demonstrating it on the day he was stoned to death. He prayed for his enemies, one of whom was Paul. Paul also prayed for those who persecuted him.

The Haggai Leader Experience has bee a great blessing to me. The equipping on integrity still resonates in my mind. After I came back from Maui, I began an equipping program for village pastors.
