I love my enemies.
Those words used to feel impossible.
But Jesus keeps calling me deeper:
“Love your enemies… pray for those who persecute you…
that you may be children of your Father.”
Love is wishing God’s goodness on another person—
even the ones who wounded me,
misunderstood me,
ignored me,
or walked away.
And I hope my enemies are loving me too.
Those I hurt on purpose.
Those I hurt without knowing.
Those I passed over.
Those I failed to love when God placed them in my path.
Because the Father “makes His sun rise on the bad and the good.”
He pours out light on everyone—
not because we deserve it,
but because He is good.
To love my enemies
is to step into that same sunlight.
To let God stretch my heart
until it looks a little more like His.
Pray
Lord, teach me to love those who hurt me.Teach me to love those I have hurt.
Let Your goodness fall on all of us today—
friend and enemy alike. Amen
