Love your enemies

"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." Matthew 5: 43-47

I think out of all scripture this passage is the hardest for me to take and do for that matter. The Lord has really been showing me a lot lately and this one in particular keeps coming up "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you!" even last night my 3 year old son in his prayers prayed for a lot of peoples hearts he just kept naming he would say and " God thank you for mamas heart and for daddy's heart and for his friends hearts and grandmas and grandpas and teachers(each one individually of course)" in the course of this what seemed like 10 min prayer mentioned some people that is not often on my prayer list. people who have wronged me or who have hurt me somehow and so yet again God uses my precious child to continue to teach me things. Lord please continue to teach me and mold me and help me to love everyone and pray for everyone even when i think they dont deserve it.
