An enemy?
But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. Matthew 5:44 - NIV
If we take this literally then most of us would find this command impossible to follow. Few of us, I think, have enemies. Nevertheless there may be people in our lives who are problematic e.g. neighbours, relatives, work colleagues.  Christian love would have us treat them as a child of God no matter how they behave, treat them as you would have them treat you, and model a better way. Finally, pray for those who trouble you that they may seek harmony and peace instead of disagreement and friction. Pray also that God gives you the wisdom to see your own contribution to discord and grace to change..
Reverend Steve
