LOVE OF ENEMIES!!! you must think I'm crazy!!! Maybe you read the title wrong, but no that's what I wrote. The love of enemies is when you love the very people who oppose you and stab you in the back. Impossible to love your enemies you say, believe it or not it is not but it is possible to love your enemies. This takes allot of practice believe me I know, I've been bullied before and I've been the actual bully before. At my high school I was outside with my friends when a bully came up to me and tried to punch me for some comment I had said, so of course I ducked and I took off running with the bully right behind me yelling saying I'm going to kill you. Soon the bully gave up and said "I give up.". So I turned around and walked straight up to the bully and said "Hi my name is Kaitlin what's yours". She laughed and throughout the year we became friends and she actually stopped bullying and it was all from turning the other cheek and showed her love. I've had many enemies and bullies who I pray for and always try to say nice things about them to show them God's love. When I was young I was a bully I could beat up a teen at age eight and I really didn't like too many people, but there was a boy who refused to fight with me. I first learned about God's love and turning the other cheek from that boy, he showed me God's love that eventually helped me to stop bullying at age 12.
Matthew 5:44-45 "44But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust."
