“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 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:” Matthew 5:43-45

There was a time in my life as a young boy coming up where I was dating a lady friend. Somebody else liked her too and wanted to date her. He didn’t like me because I was dating his friend. So he was jealous of me, and he picked a fight with me and hit me in my jaw. I turned the other cheek and said, ‘I love you brother, may Peace and Blessing be with you.’
