Do You Love People?

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. John 13:34

Think about this for a moment. Can you truly really love ALL people? Jesus did. He did not agree with what they did or how they treated Him but He still loved them.

Love is how you win people, not judgment or hatred. Turning the other cheek. Loving people who you would rather get angry at. Asking God to help you love people who you humanly maybe can’t stand cause they have hurt you, rejected you, or you may not even know them but they are hateful people and not out for the goodness of God and truth. 

God says to love, period. Tall order but not impossible. God can transform anybody and He can transform your hate or anger to love, peace, and joy. Give it a try. You waste lots of energy hating and being mad. Try the opposite. You don’t have to agree with a person but you are simply called to love. 

PRAYER: Help me love like you Jesus. Some people do things that aggravate me but maybe they don’t know you as their savior and they need you to transform them. I will continue to not allow the enemy to make me ‘hate’ anyone but pray for the Holy Spirit transforming power to enter the hearts of people who desperately need a transformation. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
