Love Your Enemies

The verses for today are counter intuitive.  We are told to love our enemies and to do good to the people that hate us.  We are to bless the ones that curse at us and pray for those that use us.  Now I understand praying for those that use us.  If we pray for them and they get into a better place in their lives they’ll be better to us.  Or at least move away and leave us alone.  That makes sense to me because benefits me.  That fact that it benefits me by helping someone who doesn’t like me and is using me doesn’t matter, at all.  But, according to our scripture today, it should.  I should be happy for that person because their life has gotten better, period.  That’s a tough one.  Is it even possible?

That’s our topic today.
