Friends or Enemies

Love your enemies, and pray for them, for the one who is your enemy today may be your greatest ally on down the road tomorrow. Keep in mind that the path we tread is a very long one, and often the people who we think are the closest to us and would never leave our side will turn out to be terrible adversaries, while those who may have done us wrong in the past will repent somewhere far down the road, being turned into soldiers with far better hearts than we could have possibly imagined. They may even become closer friends than the ones we'd put so much trust in. Just remember that much of what we see and feel here is so temporary, for our book has many, many chapters. Eternity is, indeed, a very long time . . .
