Our Enemies Are..

Love of God, we must understand, is not the love that is defined in our lexicon. Jesus when he began the ministry mentioned love of his father. He characterized His all embracing love: He makes the Sun rise on the good as well as on the evil. (St.Matt 5:45) Those whom we may consider as bad or wicked are also in His safekeeping. Why do others ridicule or belittle us? In all probability we have given cause for others to doubt our sincerity though we profess His name. Is my ego hurt because others see through my hypocrisy? Our hearts are too deep for us to fathom. ( Jer.17:9) Who can tell where the fault lay, in us or in them? Instead of being abrupt or judgmental with them we ought to concentrate on matters that we may do better. Allow them to their views and accept what is real: real motives of man shall only be revealed in His own Time.
If God so loved the world why we suffer for no apparent reason? He sent Jesus to the earth as embodiment of His Love. Truth being absolute stands by itself. Whereas love according to our definition is conditional and it requires an object. Jesus as the Son in taking the form of Man didn’t surrender his basic quality, Truth, but demonstrated love can still go higher than possible with us. Love that can link Truth in one stroke is not what human dictionary speaks of.
Truth and Love. In Jesus it was personified. Truth of God like a diamond of the first water merely lay merged in the water of his humanity. His temptations and his sufferings were in context of Truth even as our sufferings are. We shall not decipher why we have suffered in context of our critics. When we shall know Truth in its perfection or see Him face to face we might say we have been wrong to dub our critics as our enemies.
Our enemies are not His enemies since Grace have been extended to them as well.
