By praying for and loving our enemies, we overcome evil with good. This is what Jesus teaches us to do.
This is probably the hardest thing for us to do. And that is why we need to ask and rely on God to help us show love to those who we may not love or even like.
Jesus also says in the following Matthew 5: 46,
" If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that" .
Anyone can pray for and love the people who are nice to us and love us, but most of us do not love or pray for our enemies. We want a revenge, which is not how God wants us to act because when we act like that, we act just like everyone else, and not Gods followers.
between the two amazing projects and people who have inspired me in a great way and I would like to contribute to that, but I will need your HELP because with your upvote you will make a difference and change someone's life for the better.
I'm not asking for donations, which if you would like to make you can go directly @familyprotection, and @cryptopie, but really all I would like to ask you is your upvotes that will help not one, but two different projects. All upvotes count and by upvoting, you are really
making a huge difference and we really appreciate your kind and loving hearts.

A simple smile can make someone's day or even change how they think of themselves, simple kind words can change someone's life even when we don't think anything about it, a warm hug, or a simple call can change life, a simple upvote that we sometimes think of should I, it will not make a big difference can change someone's life.
@FAMILYPROTECTION is just one of the best projects here created by @canadian-coconut and @markwhittam who are both just beautiful and lovely people who fight against families being destroyed by the social services. I absolutely love what this @familyprotection is doing and how it is a voice and support and huge help to those going through having their families taken apart.

are using "Child Protection Agencies"
to take children away from loving families
and place them in foster care or group homes
or place them for adoption.
THESE FAMILIES NEED PROTECTING.

Loving and praying for those who are difficult is truly challenging but deeply rewarding. Thanks for the reminder dear
Absolutely. It is deeply rewarding.
God bless!
Loving our enemies isn’t a big deal
It teaches us how to treat people nicely even if we don’t get the same treatment from them
I think I woul dissagree a bit on that, but it all depends on the different circumstances. If you are just treating people nicely and you don't get the same response back is totally understandable and we should not expect anyhing back anyways when we treat people nicely.
But there are situations when people abuse you, hate you, beat you, steal from you, or kill your loved one. These kinds of people would be super hard to love or forgive.
