Love for Enemies

27 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.

32 “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. 35 But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

Enemies,haters,cursers,mistreaters,slappers and stealers,love them all but removing these toxic relationships from your life may give you a greater reward in the present and whatever afterlife you percieve. Give it a try. It was a big part in turning my life right. The very best to you.

[Dolphin14 in reply to In2thenow]

Boundaries and removing toxic relationships helped me also. I wouldn't treat them with disrespect but I find it best to just move on.

Having peace in the present is what I need. My rewards are in how I can live each day.

We all have to find what works for us. If this is your path to healing this is great and I wish you happiness and peace.

Thank you,I have found a beautiful place by simply being positive in the moment. I find gratitude is everywhere if you look for it. It took total destruction of my soul to get here and i would not choose my experience for anyone however the growth and conquests could never have happened without it. Best of life to you.
