Many times people say to love there enemies, but how often does this truely happen?
How does one actually show love to their enemy?
A verse i believe that is often just skipped over by many readers because it makes them feel uncomfortable is matthew 5:40
And if someone wants to sue you, and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well.
This is a lesson WE ALL NEED TO LEARN. ME YOU AND EVERYONE AROUND YOU.
how often are people constantly worried about their things?
Jesus the person Christians strive to be like, was/is SO loving and so unattached to this world, and attached to God the father, Taht he says to give more than what someone is trying to take from you.
CLearly this is a love for an enemy that would not be explainable. This love is something radical.
Losing stuff one owns to benefit someone else is one thing. But giving to someone trying to steal from you. I pray that someday I will learn to be able to do this.
That is revolutionary love. Not just hugging your best friend next to you.
