Pray for your haters, ask God to help you love them, and take every opportunity to do them good. Don’t avoid them, and don’t take sneaky swipes at them. One of the wonders of the gospel is that God can make the worst of enemies the best of friends. View this as a massive opportunity to display the power of the gospel.
Even if the person remains hostile, we still have opportunity to enter into the sufferings of Christ (John 15:18-25) and to demonstrate the love of Christ (1 Peter 2:20-23). Let your haters drive you to the Lover.
Hi! I'm Billie Jo Davis, a small-town girl born and raised in Texas and now reside in Uptown Dallas. I titled my blog "Idealistic Dreamer," because I'm constantly pursuing perfection, and I don't think it's ever too late to follow your dreams and live the best life you can possibly live. Most of my posts will be thoughtful, inspirational, motivational, and enlightening. Hope you enjoy!

Your Enemies
"If you can cultivate the right attitude, your enemies are your best spiritual teachers, because their presence provides you with the opportunity to enhance and develop tolerance, patience, and understanding." - Dalai Lama
