Love Your EnemiesMatthew 5:44 Love your enemies bless them that curse, Do well to whoever hate and is perverse; Pray for those who despitefully persecute, It seems only normal for having a dispute; I know how hard it is to promote goodwill, Especially when talking about Kim Jong Il; Even a Korean feeling about the Japanese, A rough 36-year period of such tyrannies; What a hard thing when mistreated and hurt, Someone just treats you as a piece of dirt; We need to pray for them and be forgiving, Ask the Lord to bless them and thanksgiving; Ensure that the Lord knows you are sincere, To repel resentment and thoughts of fear; And benevolently speak to others about them, Go out of your way to help and not condemn; It'd start to break the barriers in between, Even though they don't cede the gillotine; The affect upon you'll be even more amazing, For your spiritual power will begin raising.
