Love my enemies, bless them that curse, do good to those who abhor
This is what the Bible says in the scripture Matthew 5: 44
Pray for them who despitefully use and persecute me is what is says, too
That is a challenge that, though it can be done, it is very hard to do
I love this scripture with passion and it has become of way of life for me
It taught me what Jesus meant on the cross when he said in Greek, "Aphiemi."
When your enemies do you wrong, they really don't know what they are doing
It is better to free yourself and them by forgiving, than revenge seeking and pursuing
Those enemies that curse you, use you, persecute and on you they love to hate
They are not the real enemy you should be fighting against anyway
Our real enemy is in high places in the spiritual realm
It is with spiritual weapons that we have to fight the real one at the helm
For those who curse, hate and try to use you right in front of your face
You can love, bless and pray for them ‘cause God has given you the grace
The more you exercise these godly principles, you will see the benefit all the more
Maybe just like me, you will begin to love the scripture Matthew 5: 44
.............thanks for this lovely write.....yes you are absolutely correct....but you know it is very difficult to love those who do not love us.....the murderers and thieves....the fake people, who smile in your face and talk badly about you when you are away.....the neighbor who would rather stab you in the back....than be a good neighbor...the racist and prejudice who are filled with hatred for others who are not like them....and the very wealthy who are so greedy they would not even give the suffering children any food.....a nice write with a great message.... but definitely I feel it would take a person who is totally perfect like Jesus to pull of this feat....
