For this is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another. (1 John 3:11)
You are called to love one another warts and all. Love meaning unconditional love. Love for those hard to love and even love our enemies, people who don’t love you and want nothing to do with you.
Love is God’s plan for his creation. If you look up 1 Corinthians chapter 13 there is wise advice for how to love. Love doesn’t mean you agree with someone but it means you are kind to them and don’t act holier than thou because everyone has issues.
Try this experiment. Go throughout your day as you observe mankind no matter how despicable a person may be or how mean they treat you and say to yourself “I love you my friend”. Many have deep seated needs or things in their past that have made them who they are but things can be surrender to God. Now just go out and love one another.
PRAYER: Thanks Lord for loving me even when I am difficult to love. I know you are the potter and I am the clay so mold me today into a loving representative of the kingdom. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
