This is directly opposite of the ways of the world.
But we are not to be of this world,
but to obey the words of Christ Jesus.
Jesus tells us, we are to love our enemies and pray for them.
It Is possible or we would not have been told to do it.
The kind of love it takes to love our enemies and praying for those who persecute us the kind of love that God has shown to us by sending His Son, the kind of love Christ Jesus showed us when He gave of Himself on the cross.
When we come to Christ Jesus and except His love, when we give our lives back to HIm.
He shows us even more love by asking Father God to send us His Holy Spirit to dwell in us.
By doing this He, Christ Jesus and Father God make it posable for us to show that same kind of love to our enemies, making it posable for us to honestly pray for them.
Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, Jesus Him Self tell us we must do this to become sons of our Father who is in heaven.
We are given the description of what love is
1Corinthians 13:4-7
¶ Love is patient,
love is kind and is not jealous;
love does not brag and is not arrogant,
love does not act unbecomingly;
it does not seek its own,
is not provoked,
does not take into account a wrong suffered,
does not rejoice in unrighteousness,
but rejoices with the truth;
bears all things,
believes all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things.
Love is an action not a feeling,
mankind has declared it a feeling but that is not what we are shown in the word of GOD.
