Love your enemies

Have you ever watched a movie about a superhero and wondered how they lived through all those adventures? They get shot at, blown up, fall from twenty storeys, and still finish without a scratch. We may think about these stories ---- as pure fiction, or at best, unreasonable exaggeration. But you don’t have to Superman to love your enemies.

So how do we do it?

With a dose of reality.

Unlike superheroes, we don’t heal so easily. That’s the dose of reality. We may even want to forgive someone, but their actions have left scars on our hearts, and those scars don’t go away by themselves. We may have been devastated by a heartbreaking divorce, the loss of a job, a loved one’s untimely death or even the inability to achieve the results you hoped for.

Perhaps we were abused, rejected or betrayed by someone we trusted. To one degree or another, we all carry these kinds of wounds.

We may have resigned ourselves to carrying these wounds around, and we may even think they are just part of life. But the truth is, these scars can block our ability to see, feel… love.

If something is holding us back, we have to struggle and fight to set ourselves free.
We are all seeking comfort, guidance and we all hope that the pain will be alleviated.

Listen to your heart, for I am trying hard to listen to mine.
