    Hi Lojay Only a person born again of Gods spirit and walking in renewed mind love via the word can do this. Even a christian cannot walk in the love of God if he doesn't choose to put on the mind of Christ and walk in renewed mind love. Since that is the only way to produce Love joy piece longsuffering meekness temperance against such their is no law, and than all of 1 Corinthians 13. You can speak Gods word all you want but if it is not done with the love of God no profit, the saying is don't tell me you love me show me. Agapeo which is the love of God is a product of a person putting on Gods word and believing which requires living on what he has put on this is a lifetime of work.

    To add to conversation, It appears that you want the whole picture of what happens to those that treat others terribly. Forgiveness is easier when we understand the punishment, praying for someone is easier when we know GOD is faithful on HIS promises.

    Psalm 37:1-40

    Hi Lojay.

    Perhaps someone can shed more light on this.

    I believe this is what can only be done by the Holyspirit working in you.

    This is not a commandment our flesh can accomplish.

    Matthew 5:44-48. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

    That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

    For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

    And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

    Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

    God bless.

    Hi Lojay, Here is what the bible says [44] But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; ... [46] For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye?
