Jesus says in these verses to love your enemies, do good, and give without expecting anything in return, and we will not only be rewarded for it, but will be sons and daughters of God.
Giving to our enemies is not something we would think of doing, first thought. That's because we are human, but thanks be to God for His love and mercy!
Just as God is merciful to the unthankful and evil, we too must be merciful to those that wrong us.
To give mercy to our enemies is what God wants, because as we sinned against Him, He showed mercy to us, and God is teaching us the true nature of love.
My prayer for all who read this is that they will always remember that God loves them and is merciful to them, and to love as God does, means we need to be kind to those who are hurtful, and as we learn how to do this, I pray that we all become more like God and how He loves! In Jesus' Name, Amen!
