But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. (Luke 6:27-28 NIV)
I want to love my enemies. I know this is the right thing to do. I have practiced this and have found success. My enemy did not become my best friend but was willing to have constructive conversations.
I do not try to make enemies. I know, that sometimes, people do not like me for whatever reason. Some personalities may not mix. I know that I may make enemies because I stand for the whole Bible; I believe it’s truth from front to back. Others may want to pick and choose what they believe from it.
Whatever the circumstance at hand, I will ask God for help to love my enemies.
Be Encouraged! God will give you strength to love your enemies, even if you remain at distance.
