"Love is strange how it grasps you by surprise,
And how it can hold you in this anomalous sense,
And do you ever wonder what bewilderment truly lies,
In this fatal seeming feeling that grows so tense?

You suddenly become numb to the sounds and sight of life,

It feels as if a weight of glory has truly hit,
And you know that nothing could ever more become strife."

Matthew 5:44 not only commands us to love our enemies, but to go beyond emotion... to "Bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you..."
