Love Your Enemy..

Who of us do not really have a hard time living
out this very difficult precept?

It is hard to do, perhaps, for several reasons.

1. Once we are hurt we focus on the pain that we are nursing inside. This sometimes makes it difficult to see beyond the self. So we lick
our wounds and engage in self-pity.

2. Our desire to get even. We sometimes feel that unless our enemies suffer just as we have suffered, we won’t really be at peace. So we engage in different tactics just so we can exact vengeance.

But I feel that instead of hating them, love them, pray for them in all humility. Once you are able to lift them up to God, you know that you can never remain that person’s enemy.

You cannot go on hating a person in the presence of God. Hence, when you pray for your enemy, the resentment in you dies. And once this happens, your attitude towards the enemy changes. And even if the thought of him comes, you’ll never be agitated.

And I know that Im just a normal human being.And in my walks of life..Im learning the process of forgiving.
