not as the world loves

We must love,
not as the world loves,
but as Christ loved us,
as Christ loves us still,
even loving our enemies,
forgiving them because
they know not what they do.

Even when they do know
what they are doing...
the charge for each of us
is to forgive everyone,
to hold no grudge, no hate,
to hold no anger for anyone
who does us harm,
even intentionally.

Only then are we living out
the command of Jesus,
to love as He loves us.
We cannot hate
our enemy and
love as Jesus loves us.
