As I think of those whose love I return, I thank God for them and ask his blessings upon them.
As I pray blessings upon those who have blessed me, I ask God to expand the circle of blessing to include others.
Now as for loving those who hate me and praying for blessings upon those who persecute me, I struggle a lot more with that. Yet that is what Jesus tells us allows us to be children of our Father. He shines his love and rains his blessings upon all - and he calls us to do the same. "for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous."
