Why is it so easy to love the ones that love us back and not love those who reject us? Was love not given freely to us? Grace given to those who believe? As a believer then why is it sometimes hard love others?
Folks this is what we are instructed to do, straight from the mouth of our Savior Jesus: "Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who cures you and pray for those who spitefully use you." He goes on the say in Luke 6:32-36 "But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back. But love your enemies, do good and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil. Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful."
This passage illustrates for us the greatest command, LOVE!
If you are struggling with this I urge you to open your bible and dig in, you will see through His word that NO ONE is unlovable to God. Those who ask will receive mercy and as a follower of Jesus I want to give the same love that I receive from my Father to those who may not even know they need it...
Turn away from hate, turn away from anger, love your neighbor as your self for love covers a multitude of sins.
Radically HIS - Melissa
