The most popular and one of the greatest commandment of God is "Love your nieghbour, as you love yourself"! I know this greatest commandment of God is well known even those people who are not reading the holy bible.๐But theres is one commandment of God that the most hated rules,especially for those unbelievers and even some believers hate it,( correct me if im wrong) and what is this commandment of God? Do you know this? Ok this is ,"Love your enemies"!
Do you have an enemies? Of course you will answer me, Yes! Who is in this world that has no enemy! All of us have enemies in life, but the question is..??
How to love your enemies, when seem it so hard and impossible!Do you agree with me steemians?
Your enemies hurt you physical and most of the time emotional. And sometimes we can't control ourselves, and more of the time we confront them!, and sometimes we are on beast mode!, we dont know what we are doing, what we are saying! And sometimes if we cant control ourselves, we face in court trial!
This our enemies is one of the hindrances to be happy and sometimes it is the way of our miserable life. But one of the commandment of God that we must follow is this, we must love our enemies!
Wow! I can't imagine that we must love our enemies,the people hurt you! The people downed you! And why God make this rule or commandment? Just simply beacuse its for our own good!
So, on this topic i have opinions and ideas "How to love our enemies"!

Heres the first one--
๐WE MUST PRAY AND BLESS THEM!
OMG!! Imagine that?? We must pray for them? And bless them?? but thats the rules of God, when people hated you, Pray for them!,when people cursed you,Bless them!Did you remember the bible character St. Stephen? The person who stoned unto death!๐ฒ Did you know what he did to all the people who stoned him?He prayed to all the people who stoned him!! He said to the Lord and prayed like this; My God, forgive this people who stoned me! Wow! Amazing!!
In our own experience, "Can we do this they same?
People who scolded you!

people who beat you!and people spank you! I think we can do that, if we have a humble heart. But most of the people experiencing like this,i think its so very hard to do! Did you remember of one of the last word of Jesus Christ our Lord, when He is on the cross? Did you see the passiom of Christ? Did you see how they beat Him? Spit Him! And can you fell the pain when He nailed on the Cross?..
What was the one last word He said?.. He said this word..,"FATHER FORGIVE THEM,FOR THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING".. can you imagine that!?..Despite of sacrifice, pain,agony, and the things they did to Him, this is the words comes out from His mouth..,He prayed for forgiveness of this people and for us! So we must forgive,pray and bless our enemies. I know we can do this through the help of God!๐โ
The second one--
๐WE MUST DO GOOD THINGS FOR THEM!
source
Many of us,if others do bad things to you or us,we do it also bad things to them! If a person spank your face,you will spank him/her too! If a person spreading the bad news or bad rumors about you, we will do they same for this person! There is a saying, if you hit a rock, hit him a bread with bottle..๐๐ lol ..just kidding!
Anyway, the rules of God is do good things for the people, who did bad things to you. And dont vengeance to your enemies,Let the Lord vengeance for you to them.
Why God pursue this rules? Because theres is no hard heart to be soften, if you do good things for our enemies. And one of the benefits of doing this to your enemies, is God will bless us and all the things that we do for our enemies will not in vain. And you know what? If we do this we become blessed! Just because if you are the one who make a way for peace and harmony ,doing good things despite of doing bad things of your enemies.
"Let the good overcome evil"!
The third one--
๐WE MUST LOVE AND HELP THEM!
One of the greatest thing that we must do,are we must love and help them!
Why? We cant pray for them with sincerity,if we have no love! We cant say that we do for good things if dont help them there situation! And most all we can do the good things to them without this love.
"Love is the only force that can change an enemy into friends"!
Love can do all good things!
source
Love is the key! To be united again with our enemies to be your friend again! And this key is in you! You must be open, to be closed again! Because you can't be closed if you don't be open! And the key is "LOVE"! TO BE CLOSER TO YOUR ENEMIES! so we must love our enemies and help them!๐
FINALE๐
We must love,pray,bless and help our enemies and God will bless us!
Did you know that the one of the greatest enemy in our life is--"OURSELF"!
WHY? Just because "the things you dont want to do; is the things you do!, and the things you want to do; is the thing you cannot do!
Before we can love our enemies; we must start in ourselves!
