What makes it so difficult to love our enemies? Bonus Question: What happens when we love our enemies?

Because they do things that make us mad and irritated. When we love our enemies God will bless us. And it makes them feel that they don`t have to mad us mad anymore.

It is human nature to hate our enemies. It is not for us to judge or to hate - only for God. He will do any condemning that is to be done. When we are able to love our enemies we walk closer with God.

The human dentency of loving those who love us is what makes it difficult to love our enemies. When we love our enemies we become the children of our Father who is in Heaven who loves us all good and evil.

Forgive our trespasses as we forgive those who trespassed against us. We don`t retain their misgivings and so the Lord forgives ours. That is a wonderful gift. It`s not easy to love somebody who harmed you and if left uncontrolled, even the slightest harm done to the `i` becomes a major one. And the `i` gradually grows into an `I`. Also our hearts and minds become burdened with anger resentment and all sort of bad feeligs that risk taking hold on us and make us act harmfully toward others, especially the weaker ones. If you do this to one of my little bretherns Jesus said...Without learning to forget and forgive we cannot grow in Charity.

Love for Enemies

"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.' But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you, that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don't even the tax collectors do the same? If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don't even the tax collectors do the same? Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

Matthew 5:43-48
