We've heard the story over and over. Our first ancestors didn't comply with the rules of the garden. Congrats to the Evil One for his cunning ways. What seemed relatively harmless at the time resulted in damage to every single member of the human race. Paradise was lost. The Evil One pretty much incarcerated every single one of us. The fallen angel even tried to tempt Jesus when he came to rescue us. Even though Jesus conquered sin, we are all still damaged. The attacks continue. Is there a way to survive? I have an idea, although it's not original. It's a counterattack. It may not be the approach you might try if you were placed in charge.
The answer, my friend, is love. Specifically, love your enemy. Besides loving your enemy, pray for your enemy. Go big. Pray that your enemy is blessed beyond his or her wildest dreams. Celebrate when your prayers are answered. Love is the only weapon I know that can completely disarm those rebels who want you to suffer all the days of your life. Give love a try. Don't forget to forgive. Have a great day.
