Sometimes we often hate those people who made wrong things to us. But Jesus said, we not just love those people who love us but also those people we hate or hated us. We cannot love God as long as this anger control us to hate those our enemies around us.

Yes you are absolutely right but it is very difficult at the same time. It is well said instead of fighting with the enemy just make him a friends so that there is no war at all. But so far i have not done this. This is possible only to the great people and i am an ordinary.

Yes you are right.This is so hard but we cannot live with hatred. God wants us to leave in peace and harmony. We cannot do it in our own but we need God's mercy and grace to surpass this. Thanks for the response.God bless you!

It is very hard being a human to love your enemies. But we must at least try it. We all have faults and that's why we can't love our enemies. I don't have any enemies but I have some cousins of mine who have been bad to me. I can't say they are my enemies but they have really hurt me and I feel very angry when I think about those past. I now Trying my best to be positive and God will bless me for sure and my days are also coming soon. thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

Thanks for the response.Sometimes it's hard to forgive those people who hurt us most or even into our loved ones.Yes it deeply hurts but God is not pleased if we will plant the seeds of anger. Like Jesus said, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. Even God gives sunlight to either good and bad people.

Hi,
You are right. We should love people who hate us. Enemies can be turned into friends by loving them. We should behave nicely with the people who are not good with us because we are nice. We should control our anger. When we behave nicely with the people who hate us feel shameful for their behavior. They regret for their behavior and they start to love us. God always love them who love others.
