I don't know why I am blogging this, maybe it will help someone. Many years ago a Sunday School teacher of mine was teaching about enemies and forgiveness. He said think of 5 people that you don't like for whatever reason. It may be someone who wronged you in some way, or hurt you deeply, someone you don't like their personality. It may be someone you have held a grudge against for years, you are jealous of, or you just don't like them and don't know why. Now write those 5 names on a piece of paper and fold it up and keep it with you. Everyday call their names out in prayer and next Sunday I want to know if you feel differently about the people whose names you wrote down. I did that little exercise and it worked. You can't hold a grudge, or dislike someone you pray for regularly, it is impossible. Try it. I don't care if it is your most bitter enemy. Pray daily for God to bless them and see how differently you feel about them after just one week.
Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you. Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. Luke 6:27,28
