Love your enemies

"But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous."

Matthew 5:44-45

Love your enemies

As God's children we must trust in Him because no one tears down what God lifts up, no one defeats those God protects, no one curses those God blesses, and no one shames those who God backs. Because of that, ask the Lord that your eyes may see the best in people, that your heart may forgive, that your mind may forget the harm your enemies have done you, and that your soul may never lose faith in Him.
