We probably all know "difficult" or "challenging" people in our lives. While we may not want to deal with people that are mean or give us a hard time, we cannot turn our backs on them. We need to find strength to show (and spread) love!
God is love. He is the source of all of our love. If we truly love God, then we cannot go through our lives avoiding or hating others. As we are reminded in I John, we cannot hate those we see while loving God, who we have not seen. Instead, we can draw on God's love and show kindness and love to others, even those that may be "difficult" or "challenging" in our lives. With the strength and love of God, we can change our perspectives on the people in our lives!
When faced with difficult or challenging people, choose to show God's love and kindness!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for showing me love. Help me to show Your love and kindness to others, even those that challenge me. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
