Do You Love Your Enemies??

I have to say yes to this question. I have found that some people really like it when you stay upset with them. To me it is not worth carrying anger and hash feelings inside myself towards other people. I feel a lot lighter and happier by loving these people.

I try. The people I who have wronged do not even have the slightest clue that they have wronged me (and a few other people). They're convinced that what they are doing is noble, hopeful, and right. I don't exactly call them enemies but choosing to love them is tough. I can't say that I hate them. It's more like, I don't care and I'm okay because I'm far away from them. As I've said, they have no idea that they have wronged a bunch of people. They expect me to act a certain way (which is to love them or like them or just work with them) but I don't want to have anything to do with them (long story). So they expect me to love them, which is to essentially go by their every whim without question. Their management and their attitudes aren't exactly charming and if I point out the things they're doing wrong, they won't give me the time of day and disregard anything I'll say. Therefore, it's best that I left them. I worked with them for about 5 years and all I got were broken promises and friendships that weren't worth time and effort. It's best to distance myself. I don't care about them but I don't wish them ill.

I don't really think of myself as having any enemies, but there is one aquaintance who for years has rubbed me the wrong way, and I, for the most part, simply ignore that! And I find myself liking her more and more! And actually count her as friend..

I always show love to those who choose to be mine enemies by simply leaving them alone, as long as they do not step on my toes or attempt to block my way. Did you know that you can some times love people by simply leaving them alone?

Yes, I have seen many positive changes by treating people as I would like to be treated, to do to others as I would like them to do to me. When we live as Jesus showed and taught, only good can come out of it, though it may take some time.

It's really hard to live by this but true enough it is written in the Bible therefore we have to abide. In my experience I tried to reach out to them and though no sorries where said in between we tried to reconnect and forget about the bad things. This way we bring peace to ourselves. Not only forgiving those who harmed you but giving yourself peace and relief too.

i could write a book about this subject alone i usually find it hard to love my enemies. but i do often pray for them cause i cant stand anyone to be hurt or in pain. i know i have prayed to stop hating sometimes and it works.

No buenavida, I do not love my enemies. In fact, I hate them completely. They make me feel so miserable. I know that to be a genuine Christian, we must love not just God, but also our neighbors. And neighbors include enemies. So we can't really live without them. But I do not quarrel with them. I just let it pass when we have differences of opinions, sort of allow them to carry on with the lives they want to have. I know it is not right but I avoid people who are vexation to my spirit. That probably means I am still a work in progress as a Christian. Bear with me, I still have to psyche myself about that Gospel story. I hope I'll come to it soon enough.

I have to say that I pray for my enemies because I believe that is the best way to not live with hatred in my heart. I see the huge different between holding a grudge and forgiving someone for something they have done to me in my life. It is hard living day to day with hatred in our hearts, it keeps us imprisoned and gives your power up to your enemies. I feel God knows all and sees all and he will take care of those who do wrong to us in this life.
