DAY 280
Love Your Enemies
기원후 1세기
ORIGINAL
ἀγαπᾶτε τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ὑμῶν
📜 THE VERSE
Love your enemies, and hold goodwill toward those who trouble you.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
Even toward someone I have every reason to hate, do I leave room for goodwill?
📝Reflection
Loving those who love us is something anyone does — it is instinct, not a special virtue. What makes this teaching demanding is that it stretches love's reach even to those we hate. To love an enemy does not mean condoning their actions. It means, more precisely, guarding your own heart so it is not ruled by hatred. Hatred, in the end, burns the one who hates before it burns anyone else.

Think of one person you resent today, and instead of cursing them, wish them well just once.
