On Enemies

Imagine two kinds of people.

First, imagine.....

The person everyone wants to be around.
The person everyone wants to get to know.
The person who does good things for people.
The person who is working to make society better.
The person who makes you feel good about yourself.
The person who makes you laugh.
The person you can talk to.
The person who blesses you.
The person who prays for you.
The person who gives to you.
The person who cares about you.
Your Friend.

God calls us to love the Friends.

Now, imagine.....

The person who has nothing nice to say.
The person who is bitter.
The person who is continually angry.
The person who is set out to make your life miserable.
The person who refuses to like you.
The person who does you harm for no reason.
The person who curses you.
The person who uses you.
The person who takes from you.
The person who hates you.
Your Enemy.

God calls us to love the Enemies. Just as much as the Friends. Just like we would want to be loved.

I read about it the other day and I just can't stop thinking about it. It will change the way you look at the world.

Why do the caterpillar and the ant have to be enemies? One eats leaves, and the other eats caterpillars. Oh, I see now.
