Love is the most powerful force amongst all, stronger than death many have said. For in embracing those who harm us, we do not incite a war against that which is loved, but only love. For love transcends the dimensions of human relations. It is of God, who is above all, through all, and in all. Love defeats death, not your enemy, who is to be loved. And in loving him,, he is held captive to the judgement of God, not your own. Look at Jesus, having loved the Pharisee, crying out still for those who harm him to receive forgiveness from God rather than this judgement. This love does not seek to defeat anything, and that is why it does. Not by me, nor by you, but by its very transcendence of all that can be conceived or imagined, visible and invisible.
