God is a God of even scales who sees everything and satisfies those scales with love overflowing. He asks of us behavior He knows is impossible without giving our hearts completely to Him. 

 Jesus challenges us to be merciful and loving to even indignant and evil persons. For it is easy to be kind to those who are kind to you, but what about the one who spits in your face? That requires our complete trust and dependence. For when we truly seek God first, we have the power to do the impossible: Love our enemies. 

Those that are evil are merely broken souls who have been damaged so many times they cannot see the beauty of the Lord’s love. They are bound by the lies of the ultimate enemy and unable to break free. These chains are no match for true love. 

We are to love them with the same love that was given us.  Remember God sees and knows our hearts. There is nothing hidden from Him and He still chooses to love us. What love! When we love our enemies we are really multiplying that love and mercy God has shown us. 

 Be advised when we love and invest in others, especially enemies, our hands and feet will get dirty, we will not always be comfortable. In fact, we will mostl likely endure pain and hardship, but the reward comes when we reach our final home as we rejoice in the presence of Jesus with some of those who were once our enemies.
