how can you like your enemies? how can you help them to change themselves?

Answer 1

You don't. You just forgive and move on with your life. You have to understand that some people that you meet aren't always suppose to be in your life forever, so you just move on.

Answer 2

How do you love the unlovable has been a huge question for me too! The bible says that while we were enemy's of God that He died for us.
Do something good for those who don't like you. Say something good about those who curse you. Pray for those who exploit you and use you to further their own interests. If anyone hits you, don't hit them back, even if they hit you again. The same thing applies; if someone robs you, don't fight him. If someone borrows from you and you keep reminding him to give it back and he keeps forgetting, let him have it. Treat everyone the same way you would like them to treat you.
Show love toward your enemies by doing nice things for them. Don't do it to get something nice back from them. Be gracious and kind even toward the most ungratful and wicked. Be merciful and don't judge or condemn people for what they have done to you. Frogive them instead.
Have a giving attitiude in all you do and you'll get back more than you give.

Answer 3

Learn to tolerate people you dont like. Dont try to forcefully change a person, it doesnt work. Going up against someones free will is a battle you will lose. Instead, be a role model. If they see your life as good and desirable, they may start asking advice, then you have the opportunity to guide them.

I could also put it this way... People aren't dragged by thier toes into a Church, they choose to go for some reason, Noone forces them.

okay, but my answer does not apply to a child. They need parenting, and sometimes choices need to be made for them....including dragging them to chUrch by thier toes. =)

Answer 4

I don't know if you can "like" your enemies, but you can certainly strive to understand them. Take note of the similarities that you and your enemies share. There's a good chance that you're probably not all that different from one another. Also, try understanding their point of view. When you understand someone's motivations, it's much easier to understand the person, and subsequently easier to appreciate what makes them who they are.

Answer 5

Enemies? How does anyone truly have enemies? The only true enemy in life is one's self. Those viewed as enemies should be viewed more as those who keep us strong and striving. If there were no deterrents in life, you can imagine all the lazy people we would have.

Answer 6

Try to see them through the eyes of someone who loves them unconditionally, like maybe their mom or children. If you are a Christian try to see them as Jesus sees them. As for changing them, just treat them with kindness. Be patient and kind. Sometimes the key to changing someone is changing yourself.

Answer 7

just be plain nice and pretty soon they'll get sick of acting mean and may start being nice

pour coals of fire on their heads (from the bible, a very knowledgable book))

" Therefore if your enemy hungers, feed him; if he thirsts, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head."
Romans 12:20, New King James Version.

in other words do things they would not expect you to do

Answer 9

Answer 10

You can't change anyone else just concentrate on yourself. If people don't like you then ignore them, their loss not yours.
