Love Your Enemies
We find it very difficult to love our enemies. We must think to ourselves there is a reason why they turned out the way they did. Maybe your enemy was treated the way he is treating you now at one point in his life. Your enemy may have been mistreated at home or someplace else. As the old saying goes, never judge someone until you have walked in their shoes. One bully was bullied all of the time by his older siblings. When he grew up, he teased whoever he could in school. It gave him a sense of power since he had no control over the bullying he received from his older siblings at home. Many bad things have been inflicted on young children they had no control over. The total of your experiences over the years accounts for how you act toward others that enter your life later on. If your enemy treats you poorly, treat him nicely. Evil will never win over good. Help your enemy when he falls; we all deserve a second chance. We will never understand why or why some people act as they do. Never let an enemy keep you awake at night, for they are sleeping soundly, and you are the one evil controls. When you treat them with genuine kindness, your enemies will not know how to act. Defeat evil with good, for good always wins over evil.
Bad Sportsmanship
People can get evil when it comes to winning a lot of money on a football game, horse race, etc. Other players have run into another player hard on purpose to break their leg or arm so the other team or person may win. Horses have been found in the morning in their stable with a mysteriously broken leg. It generally comes out after the game or race, which the culprit was. They may have had a lot of money for a while, but now they are in jail for their evil and greedy ways.
The Devil
Resist the ways and temptations of the devil. The devil is truly evil, and he will try to tempt you every day of your life if you let him. He will offer you the fruits of this world, but what have you gained if you do not end up in heaven with Christ by your side? Tell the devil to get lost, stay away from you, and he will. “The devil is a rebel, and he will run you into the ground just like a pebble.”- Taken from my book Joy, Forever Precious Soul. Save your soul, stay away from the evil one, and look to God, for he is the way to Salvation. All of us know the difference between good and evil. Do good work and be kind to your enemies. Let God be your compass in life.
