Love Your Enemy

Is this a tough lesson or what? "Love Your Enemy". This is an unfortunate law that is written in the Bible. Therefore, we must. Do you have an enemy? I want you to think of that person right now. Is he/she a bully to you? Does he/she hate you? Why? In all circumstances, there are two sides to every story. Whether we like it or not. There is a reason for this person being an enemy to you.

This person can do whatever they want to you. They could punch you... they could say mean things to you... they can give you that rotten look that says "who are you for talking to me?"... they could have stolen something of yours whether it be an item, happiness, or your cat Pluto. But we still have to love them. No matter how rotten they are to us, we still have to love them.

One thing you can do is confront the person and explain to them how you feel. They may not even know that they are hurting you! Talk to them, and try to get rid of the situation all together. If you are not brave enough to confront the person, write them a letter, or a little note telling them how you feel. Something that you do want to avoid though is cyber conversation. This is a bad idea, because other people may be able to see it, the other person might use it against you, and your feelings can sometimes go out of control on the internet.

Your enemy does not have to accept this offer, and you need to know that. Your enemy might not even be interested in friendship. Well that stinks for them. Even if they say no, you do not stop loving them. You always be kind to them, and do not let your anger become the better of you. Try to see good in them, and imagine walking in their shoes. All of this love is for the better.

Love Your Enemy!
