daily word - love your enemies

I tell you to love your enemies. Do you? Is this concept so far removed from your familiar life experience that you see this as an abstraction? How can you make it concrete? Do you view everyone as made in my image? If so then there is an essential human dignity that you can grant to everyone, no matter how different they are from you in the usual dimensions you use to make distinctions such as race, national origin, education, income level, political affiliation, and even belief systems. Is your awareness of my image in your enemies strong enough to overcome these things? If you love your enemies shouldn’t they be aware of it?
