This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another. 1 John 3:11

 

I don’t know about you, but today’s verse can be a little tough to live by. Please understand, I don’t hate anyone, but loving the neighbor who is riding their four wheeler up and down the street late at night or that co-worker who always seems to get on my nerves. I’m sure you can fill in the blank for someone who’s difficult to love.

 

As a child of God though, love is the trademark of God. Let’s face it, His Son, Jesus Christ, paid OUR sin debt so we could have a healthy relationship with Him. That’s a lot of grace and mercy for Him to do that, but HE did because He loves mankind. And that “mankind” are the very people you and I find difficult to love.

 

It’s not going to be easy, but with God’s help (through His Holy Spirit living inside each of us), we can develop a love for on another through the same grace and mercy God has shown us. Ask God to help you transform your heart into a heart for God’s creation and love on those with Christ’s love. Grace and mercy will help you love the unlovable! God bless!
