Love - Pray for them, wish them well. Doesn’t mean we have to “feel” love for them. When Jesus tells us to pray for our enemies and those who persecute us, He’s telling us we’re gonna have enemies.

Matthew 23:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Do you only wish yourself well? That seems rather detached. I have to imagine that your concern for your own well being -- physical, emotional, spiritual -- is a good deal more heartfelt and intimate than just wishing yourself well.
