Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.Luke 6:27-28

It is not easy to give blessings to those who hurt you or to pray for those who have done you wrong. However, when we do pray and bless others it will ultimately work out for our benefit. This spiritual principle is worth learning and living.
