Jesus said to love your enemies, but why...? (2)

Whoever you feel like is your enemy--those who have hurt you, hurt your beloved people, it is not easy to just "love" them. But we need to take Jesus' words seriously. What we can do at least is to deal with them with prayer--or with a prayerful heart, so that we could involve God in our life--involve God in dealing with them. The reason is if we don't do it, then the devil will be the winner. The devil will accomplish his purpose; we fail and God fails. We may end up "labeling" our enemies and making the same mistake. We may win a battle by hating our enemies, (we may feel good/righteous about what we do, or we may feel our pride, or we may be satisfied) but we will lose the war against the devil. So, what we can do--be prayerful, which will enable us to involve God and all the great spiritual support.
