Jesus commands us to love our enemies. Not to avoid having them—but to love them. To see them as image-bearers, held in the same divine love that holds us. This kind of love—agape love—is not passive or soft. It resists contempt. It disrupts cycles. It demands courage, humility, and boldness. And it creates the kind of space where God can move, and transformation can take root. Somehow, in that space, we become more like our Father.
