Love Your Enemies (Matthew 5:43-47)

.
Who in their right minds will want to live with people who don't care for one another. The place to start is where you're at... that's right, the man (or woman) in the mirror... YOU!

It is natural for us to love our neighbor & hate our enemy. If you love only those who love you, what's so special about that? That is so easy, anyone can do it.

Bible Quote:

Love Your Enemies (Matthew 5:43-47, Bible NIV ~ New International Version)
[43] “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ [44] But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, [45] that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. [46] If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? [47] And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? [48] Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
