Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 1 John 4:7
Have you ever caught yourself uttering the statement “I can’t stand them” or “ I don’t like them”? Maybe it is time for a speech lesson in love.
Yes there will be difficult unlikeable people in all of our lives. Maybe they are there to sharpen our love skills? Regardless as a believer to catch yourself uttering that you can’t stand someone is really not cool. Start praying for this particular person instead of saying that.
Yes it is hard to ‘like’ or get along with everyone especially if someone has hurt you or acted like a jerk. Yet as a believer we are to turn the other cheek and demonstrate Christian love. Can you do it?
PRAYER:Forgive me for acting no different than those in the ‘world’ by saying ugly things about people. Help me learn to love like you love and to like like that too. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
