Verses that inspired today's entry: Matthew 5:43-45,19:19
I'm called to love everyone, just as Jesus loves everyone. What about the people who I don't love like my brothers and sisters in Christ? Am I to love them as well? Yes. Jesus has a ton to say about loving others, especially one's that I find hard or impossible to love.
In Matthew 5:43-45, Jesus says "You have heard that it was said, Love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I tell you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in Heaven."
According to Jesus, I have to "love" my co-worker who talks about me behind my back or another who plots against me. Not only am I to love them, I'm to also pray for them.
I try to look at it like this-Jesus loved me so much despite all of my flaws and all the sins I have committed against him(and my future sins) that he died a horrible death on the cross for me and for you.
In conclusion, I must love those whom I find impossible to love. How do I do this? Love them like Jesus loves me. Unconditionally and without limits.
