LOVING OUR ENEMIES

39 9 19

Confucius had set this golden rule
Long ago, he made a principle
Unto others, you should not do
What you wouldn't want them to do unto you.

Many people have been likely ignoring this
For they believe, they can fool somebody else
As long as they have the power and money
They think, no one can break their anomalies.

Several individuals are cheating on their partners
Some are stealing possessions from their neighbors
Others are taking someone's life because of anger
Assuming that no one sees their misbehavior.

Whatever you sow, you will reap it accordingly
Sow deceitfulness, you will reap inequality
Plant jealousy and you will harvest murder
Sow love and you will reap peace and order.

There's this command that Jesus wants us to do
Aside from friends, we should love our enemies, too.
Showing good deeds to those who hated us
Speaking blessings to those who persecuted us.

This teaching seems hard to be adhered
'Cause there's this high pride that interferes
However, if we cling to our Majesty's love and mercy
Surely, His goodness will follow us, temptation will flee.

In everything we do, God is always watching us
The measure we use for others will be used the same for us
For our Heavenly Father is the Lord of justice
Every action we take, there's always a consequence.

*************************************

"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful." - Luke 6:32-36 (NIV)
