as Christians we are supposed to pray for our enemies

In Hillary's case, I make an exception. She is irredeemable. She is unworthy of even the most basic of courtesies. To this day she has shown no grace or humility. All she has shown to date is arrogance, anger, and hatred.

I do not look upon her with pity. What I see are the wages of sin being visited upon her. Let her rightly suffer the wrath of God.

But Christ died for her too.

He forgave his torturers and the people who brutally murdered him. We are commanded to do the same. As stated in the Our Father, forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. God will forgive us in the measure that we forgive others.

The parable of the unmerciful servant comes to mind.

I was bullied from elementary school through high school. I have been betrayed, abandoned and unforgiven. I am using lent as an opportunity to pray for the health and well-being of all of my enemies. It is truly freeing.

Remember forgiveness is not saying everything you did to me is okay, rather, it is letting go of the hate that can eat us alive.
