"See, in and of ourselves, the natural response is tit for tat. You hit me, I hit you. What this is calling for is something supernatural. To live at peace with people, to not take revenge, to bless those who persecute you, to be serving the Lord, to be joyful in hope, to be patient in affliction, to be faithful in prayer, to share with the Lord's people our need, to practice hospitality. But when you are transformed by love, what happens? You have a proper view of yourself. I have been loved, and I've also been an enemy. And when I was an enemy, you know what God did? He chose to intervene on my behalf. And because of that love, and I experienced it, there's things to start to change."
