Read Proverbs 25:21 & 22

Read Proverbs 25:21 & 22  I heard a good saying several years ago: when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.  That means that when you have a sour situation, make the best of it.  Turn it around to be a pleasant situation.  What does our verse say is the best way to deal with an enemy? Turn them into a friend.  Solomon said that if your enemy is hungry, don't be glad that they are, be compassionate; give them something to eat.  If your enemy is thirsty, don't enjoy their difficulty; give them something to drink.  Would you like red-hot coals piled up on top of your head?  No way!  If you are kind to your enemy, they can't stand it either.  They will not be your enemy for long - they will become your friend.  God likes it better when we have friends than when we have enemies.
