Loving

~Friday for Friends~

"Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." 1 John 4:8 (NIV)

We are called to love others, enemies included. And this can be hard. However, if God loved us so so so much, we know it is possible. Hard, but possible. 

Dear God, there are people who are very hard to love. At least for us. We want to get by by ignoring them or being semi-polite, but that is not what you called us to do. Help us to LOVE others, God. Thank you so much for loving us first and giving us the strength we need to do what you told us to. Amen.
