1 John 4:8
God is Love
8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
Matthew 5:43-48
Love for Enemies
43 "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44 But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
The concept of loving your enemies is very difficult...When we dislike someone intensely how can we love them and change our relationship with them?...But God is LOVE and being Pure LOVE, He knows LOVE and how to LOVE, because He is LOVE...He knows that only through LOVE are we able to change our relationship with those we really dislike -and be able to love our enemies...
Love gives the world its harmony...We really have no enemies if we truly love them...
