I know if I search for this title many other written pieces online will show up and even published books! But this thought came to my mind this morning and I feel compelled to write on the matter.
Loving what hurts to love. Loving those that have rejected me. Loving some close by and loving some from far away ( for loving doesn’t require my physical presence as a requirement)!
And so it comes to mind loving those uncomfortable times when things in life don’t flow the way I want them to be, when those I loved most make choices far from what I would prefer for them to do. I realized there’s more to hate than to love… But I’m asked to love the unlovable and how can I do that?
I must look at Christ’s walk! I need His life to bring light to mine! He is the ultimate example of what love truly means. No other man has been able to forgive the way Jesus forgave! It was at that cross over 2,000 years ago, that Jesus paid the price so the whole world and me, could have relationship with our Father God…
But looking isn’t enough, I must look deeply, back at the way Christ has loved me! He loved All of me and transformed the unlovable moments, sins, doubts into a new testimony of faith!
Today I’ve been pressed on by people’s actions I do not like. At moments I can’t receive or understand others’ actions and yet God calls me to sacrifice my comfort and just love, love with the power He has loved me… I cry, I yield, and I choose the narrow path.
