Loving The Ones Who Don't Love You

Its so easy to love people who love you, isn't it? But what about the other people? The ones who don't love you back? The ones who might even hate you? The ones who have hurt you? Well I have news for you - we have to love them too. God says that even fools can love the people who love them, but it takes somebody wise to love the ones who don't. Trust me, this is not easy. Sometimes we think we can only give the love that we FEEL in our heart, but this is not the case. Its not OUR love that we need to give them, its God's!! We have to show these people the same love that Jesus shows us. There are about 6 billion people in this world, and Jesus loves EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. He even loves the people who beat him and put him on that cross. Wow. The least we can do is show love to the few people we know who don't love us back. The first step to showing this "God love" to everyone, is forgiveness. Its so much easier just to hold grudges or just pretend certain people aren't even there, but....the easiest way is not always the right way. This is so, so, so hard for me and I'm sure for you too, but with God's help we can do it! Just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!
