Forgiving someone you hate? Oh...no! You may say. But forgiving is the way a Christian should expose love to each other. Jesus always forgave who was against him. In St.Luke 6:27-36 Jesus teaches us how to forgive.
6:27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
6:28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
6:29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.
6:30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
6:31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
6:32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
6:33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
6:34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
6:35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
6:36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
So as said above we should show love to our enemies, or else we won't get our own rewards as said in 6:35. Remember an important fact; if you forgive your enemies that mean you do it for yourself. If you love your enemies that means you do it for yourself. Do not fail to start forgiving because to be God's good girl and enter eternity you will have to do as God said.
