Day By Day With Billy Graham

Day 243 of 366 Make Room In Your Heart When H. G. Wells summed up the influence of Jesus in history, he said, "Is it any wonder that this Galilean is too much for our small hearts?" And yet the heart of man, though small, is big enough for Christ to live in, if man will only make room for Him. Christ instilled the spirit of Christian love in His followers, so that they lived without malice and died without rancor. The love that Christ talked about can only be given to us by God. It is one of the fruits of the Spirit. When you come to Jesus Christ, He transforms you. Your past is forgiven. You receive a power to love men, beyond your natural ability to love. Daily Prayer Instill in me, dear Father, Your same Spirit of love which enabled the disciples to live with true charity. Matthew 5:43-45 NASB 43 "You have heard that it was said, 'Y ou shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'  44 But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,  45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
