[N]ever be conceited. With respect to our attitude toward our enemies, this means first, remember that you were God’s enemy and that, without having earned it or being worthy of it, you were met with mercy. It means second, remember that God hung on the cross for your enemy too, and love God and God loves you.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
