We all have enemies. We all have people who have wronged us, and it is so easy to be bitter against them. But I never could understand until now why God admonishes us to pray for our enemies.
Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you (Matthew 5:44). That is a tough assignment. That stretches the abilities of our humanity. It is too difficult for our earthly passions to do. We in all our human frailties are being asked by the Master to do the impossible: Love, bless, and pray for those who hurt us.
