Be Children of Your Heavenly Father - Matthew 5: 44-45

Being filled by the spirit of God
brings a love for those who oppose
as Christ had compassion for such
perfect love Jesus explicitly shows

To communicate with God on high
the way is opened by the avenue of prayer
this indeed is the Christians vital breath
on our knees before our Lord to share

This shows you're a child of God
one so loved by your heavenly father
bidding you to come and be saved
under His care together you will gather

According to the Lord's providential grace
causing His sun and rain being His creation
to fall on all peoples of the earth
real beauty is seen for every occasion

In this scripture, Jesus spoke with authority
when conveying the sermon on the mount
To be children of your heavenly Father
believing in Jesus having no doubt

("But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.) Matthew 5: 44-45
