Loving Our Enemies

There is a saying that says "pay with the same coin". And that is what many people do. They pay badly with bad and the worst of all is that they do not always pay good with good. Could that be what God wants us to do? We'll see.

But to you who listen to me I say to you: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, (Luke 6:27)

Jesus says that we must love our enemies, yes regardless of the evil they have done to us, we must forgive and love, because that is what Jesus did and does until today, when we sin against Him, He forgives us and never lets us love. We must do good to those who are with us during our day to day, Jesus did it a day ago when he was here on Earth.

Bless those who curse you, and pray for those who slander you. (Luke 06:28)

Do you know those people who live talking bad about us? Then, show me that you are different, rejoice, tell her that she is beautiful, intelligent, shows that you do not care what she says, forgives and pretends that she does not know, another thing that is important to be done, pray for her. For God to have mercy on her, God knows what she does with such people, given into the hands of God, do not worry.

The one who wounds you in one face, also offers the other; and to the one that has removed the layer to you, you do not deny also the tunic. (Luke 6:29)

Be humble, I do not mind being humiliated because God humiliated them at the right time, and humble the exalted (For anyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted - Luke 14:11), let them talk with you , do not worry when you get to make fun of you, pretend you are not listening, God is for you and the rest is rest.

Give everything you ask; and to the one who takes what is yours, do not claim it.

If he asks for something, give, God will give you something much better with certainty. If someone takes something from you and does not return, stay calm, do not cease confusion because of that, God will provide, He knows what you need and nothing will be missing. (For all these things the nations of the world seek after: the Father knows that you need them - Luke 12:30 | The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing: - Psalm 32: 1)

As you want men to do to you, so do you also.

What do we want people to do for and for us? that treat us well, be our friends, we want to be treated with love, affection, then in the same way that we want to be treated, we will treat people, even if they treat us badly, we will treat them the way Jesus would treat them. Always with good.

If you love those who love you, what merit is there in it? For sinners also love those who love them.

He does not boast of loving someone, it is more than his duty, that is, our duty, without that he does not have to reach the will of the Father, He wants us to have love for one another, it is better to obey God than to go against him , therefore, place all the love that he deposited in his heart in practice. (This is my command: that you love one another as I have loved you - John 15:12 | As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you: remain in my love - John 15: 9 | I give you a new commandment, that you love one another: as I have loved you, that you also love one another - John 13:34 | Love one another with brotherly love, preferring yourselves to honor each other - Romans 12: 10 | Certainly obeying is better than sacrifices - I Samuel 15:22)

And if you do good to those who do you good, what merit is there in it? The sinners also do the same thing.

We must not "meet" just because we have done someone good, it is one of our greatest duties to do that, without good life, even the people of the world do well to each other. We always see examples of famous people who donate millions and millions to NGOs, Institutions, etc. We can not consider that due to the fact that we live doing other people well we will go to heaven, many more things are needed to live there. God is good to us so we must be good to others. (to show in the centuries to come the supreme riches of his grace, for his kindness to us in Christ Jesus, before you be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another, just as God forgave you in Christ. of God, holy and beloved, of compassionate heart, of kindness, humility, meekness, long-suffering, | and for that reason you, using all diligence, add virtue to your faith, and virtue to science, and to science self-control , and to self-control the perseverance, and to the perseverance the mercy, and to the pity the fraternity, and the fraternity the love.

And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what merit is there in it? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive the same.

Do not lend anything to people expecting something in return, lend for pleasure, do not look with interesting eyes, that does not please God. The world does it, but whoever is Son of God does not need it, because it has a Father who provides all things. Do not worry about earthly things, but seek God and the things that come from the Kingdom. Let here on Earth God will sustain you. (Do not try, for what you will eat or what you will drink, nor be anxious.) - Luke 24:29 | Rather, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added - Luke 12:31 | n topics, oh little flock, because your Father was pleased to give you the kingdom.

Love, but to your enemies, do good and lend, never discouraged; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; because he is kind even to the members and the bad ones. Seat of mercy, as also your Father is merciful.

At the end of everything, we must love each other, do good, share the love and kindness, lend without wanting something in return, to lend something we can not be sad because we know that God is in control and will reward us in the opportune moment. We must forgive, be merciful to everyone, do what Jesus really would do in our place and so we will finally be reaching the will of God.

In an uncountless times, our saviour contantly told us to love our enemies and pray for them . Many people seems to worry about this statement but to God, He wants your enemies to live long for them to see your blessings. Thanks for sharing with us.
