A gift for your enemy
I am sure you have some people you dislike, but I hope you do not have any enemy.
Anyway, if God ask your opinion what gift he should give to your enemy or someone you dislike, what gift would it be?
"
Love your enemies and pray for anyone who ill-treats you. Then you will be acting like your Father in heaven.
He makes the sun rise on both good and bad people. And he sends rain for the ones who do right and for the ones who do wrong.
If you love only those people who love you, will God reward you for that? Even tax collectors love their friends. If you greet only your friends, what's so great about that? Don't even unbelievers do that?
But you must always act like your Father in heaven.
"
~ Matthew 5.44-48 CEVUK
