We Can Love the Unlovely

WE Can Love the Unlovely
“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” (Romans 12:21)

God says we need to love even those people who are difficult or seemingly impossible to love. The mark of true believers is the love they have for each other and for those who are not part of God’s family. Did you know there usually is a reason that some people are very difficult to love? More than likely, part of the problem is that they don’t have enough love, which means they need our love the most of all! We have our own personality, and it probably meshes better with certain other personalities. But even with the differences between people, we can still love others with the love God has shown to us. You will be amazed how much things will change if we just take that first step of faith and love the unlovely people around us. They are desperate for love and friendship, and we might make all the difference.

God, give me Your unconditional love for the hard-to-love people in my life. I want to show others what Your love is all about so they will be drawn to Christ. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
