Brother, I feel you. I get where you're coming from. But you can only seek reconciliation with someone who is not declaring you an enemy. In other words, they have to want you to love them. Some brothers and sisters don't want the love you have. Most Christians only consider the "love on me no matter how I hate on you" love to be the only love acceptable to them. Their love is one sided. Meaning, only coming from your side to them. All the while you may be loving them like they need to be loved in correction. As the Lord says, true love chastens one from evil. When you love some people with that love, they call you "the enemy", a "hindering spirit", a witch or warlock. It's ridiculous. If your love doesn't feel good, they curse you in return. I may deal with that for a season. But if I don't see adherence to the correction, I will not stick around and "love on" someone while they knowingly continue in wickedness. For then, I'm loving on that wickedness. That is NOT true love. And I would not continue to "love on" someone in a way that God calls hatred. For it is wtitten, "The parent that spoils their child hates their child".
Amen
