I tell you to love your enemies and pray for anyone who mistreats you. Matthew 5:44
_hating do you more harm than the person whom you hate. it is a heavy burden that you carry, even heavier with pride which will eventually adhere to you the longer it stays inside. soon after, these two will both bring death while you live. yeah, it will slowly and often unnoticeably affects your social, inter and intra personal relationships. first, it will make you shun others. after it detaches you from your peers, it will begin to nourish guilt inside you. when guilt grows, it will eat you up and leave you alone with loneliness, hatred and guilt. it will pretend that it is helping you get even but the reality is it is using you hurt others through you which you don't intend to happen. the extent of its destructing ability is multiplied as you embodies its desires. you are yourself a slave of something you don't really knew. after it destroys everybody around you, it will destroy you and hops to another heart to live again when you're a living dead.
_in contrast to what God really intend us to do that is to love those who were unloved, we tend to yield to things that make us feel good. last night, i learned in Oprah that those foods that make us feel good, in reality were the foods that causes problems in our health. yea, it is so same with the feelings we are allowing to engulf us. love, unlike hate, gives more back to you as you give it to others. the payback is more so you can give more. the more you give away, much more will come back. you cannot reckon how will love rewards those who loves others. aside from it is not heavy to carry, it will not cause you to live death. in fact, it adds up life, joy and everything else that you need to have a brighter life.
_Jesus advised us to love our enemies because He knew how heavy will it be if we hate them. loving them means forgetting what they had done wrong, forgiving them for the pain and accepting them again as if what happened was a dream. i had never read a part of the Bible where it warns to be careful with our enemies but from the demon. the devil uses people who hurt us to prey us. it is not easy to accept those who had hurt us but for our own sake, we should.
_loving is so easy that we live loving and care not about being hurt.
