I can't come up with a loving comment. I reach down inside and try to bring up some love but I can't find it. That makes me feel sad but angry at the same time. How do you love such terrible people? All I can come up with is “OK, guys, let’s roll!” Help me, Lord. It's hard to feel love. I'm trying.

 

I appreciate your honesty! And I understand your feelings. Fortunately, I don't think loving terrorists requires drumming up warm feelings for them. It's more important that we pray for them, regardless of our feelings. I think once we start acting in love for our enemies the feelings will follow.

I'm a retired Army Infantry officer (retired in 1999) and I have to think how I'd have love for my enemy while brandishing a loaded M-16 with a nervous finger on the trigger. Thank God that I'm not in the situation in Iraq. I'd really like to hear from a brother in Christ that is in that situation and what goes through his mind.

But none of this is anything that Jesus didn't fully understand. He was hanging by nails on a piece of wood and still had love for those who were ridiculing and torturing Him to death. Is it a lot to ask? It sure is. Is it too much? No!
