I know that Jesus says we are to love those who persecute us. I’m having trouble doing this when I read about our Christian brothers and sister being being tortured and killed in the name of islam. I guess I need prayers to love my enemy.

There’s nothing against defending those that need defending. That’s a godly thing to do.

That’s showing love for other people who need it, too.

Boy do I too struggle with this. I pray the Holy Spirit will help me to someday understand how I am supposed to love my enemies like this. I know I am supposed to, but I don’t really know how. I try to make myself, but I don’t really know how so I am just faking it. Too often, I catch myself hating these vermin and I know I am not supposed to. The Holy Spirit has his work cut out for him with me. I need a lot of remedial work.
