Matthew 5:44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,
You may think it impossible to love your enemy when you think of the love you have for that special person in your life; but this is not the same.
Showing love toward your enemies is not the same as loving your spouse or partner.
Loving your enemies is all about doing right by them because they are fellow human beings just as you are.
Treat all people with the love you would expect Christ to show them and not what you have in mind!
