Bible Verses about Loving your Enemies — Bible Lyfe

"Let anyone among you without sin be the first to throw a stone." Jesus
my father taught me to keep my friends close and my enemies even closer to never let anyone know what I was thinking and to smile a lot ... "my mother taught me to love everyone, even my enemies, those people who are mean and hateful to me, oh, mom that is so hard to do, but you did it, so I will try too" so, I say to all my enemy, I forgive you, I really do I forgive your hateful comments and ways your lies, your gossip, and your lack of trust you must live with your words and actions ... "I hope and pray you will find a path to forgive yourself, to change, but I will not keep your evil within me for I must let it go as it is my only way to peace I pray you find yours" I find that to hold onto hate and evil is not healthy it is an evil from the devil that grows and grows within so enemy just let it go, stop your hateful ways ... "I wish my enemy good thoughts for the new year hoping you can find peace and tranquility in your life journey because by being kind there just a beautiful life waiting for you ... happy new year and my forgiveness is my gift to you ..."

Congratulations on your win. I loved reading this lovely write/great picture. You were blessed/taught love as a child. Forgiveness is Not for them but for Us. Sometimes we need to bless them, then let them go. Many times we are the enemy and do not even know it... Have a blessed day writing away........................

the power of forgiveness runs through your lines and verses. I believe there's an art to forgiveness, and you've touched upon it here. I agree...holding onto hate isn't healthy. Letting go is a much better solution. Revenge is a choice so many make not knowing that in the end, it always backfires. Well said...have a Happy New Year, Sara

This is true beauty of seeking God's promised spirit to reign within, Jesus knew it was not within them yet, but await for the coming of the Spirit to come to purify and mold One unto a Child of the Living God, we love our enemy for they are the way they are because they have not received the promised spirit as such was I lost in darkness, so we encourage and love all to know what they have been given access to become, can you tell the excitement from me reading your poem : )

Stephan, thank you so much for the compliment, and the wonderful comment. I cannot control what others say and do but only how I respond and I chose to respond with gentleness, and forgiveness that is what my God wants of me, Constance
