DIFFICULTY LOVING OTHERS
Is it really possible to
love others? I find that loving others can be a very difficult assignment.
Especially when the "others" have treated us badly . . . for example
an unfaithful partner, abusive parent, troublesome neighbor etc. Loving such
people may seem impossible.
According to Matt. 22:39 (You shall love
your neighbor as yourself), loving others is a command and not an
option. Because it is a command, we have to CHOOSE to love that person that
hurts us, from that choice the love will grow. Loving someone is a choice.
Finally, we are only able to
love others base on God's love towards us. He is the source of love, we are
only channels.
