"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God." - 1 John 4:7 (NIV)
As Christians, we are called to love others just as Christ loved us (John 13:34). It can be easy to love those who love us back, but what about those who are difficult to love? How do we show love to those who have hurt us or who are unkind?
In 1 John 4:7, we are reminded that love comes from God. We are also told that if we love, we have been born of God and we know God. This means that if we claim to know God, our love for others should be evident in our lives.
Loving others is not always easy, but it is a choice that we make. We can choose to love those who are different from us, those who have hurt us, and those who are in need. We can show love by being kind, forgiving, and compassionate. We can also show love by serving others and putting their needs before our own.
As we go about our day, let us remember that we are called to love others. Let us look for ways to show love to those around us, even if it is difficult. Let us pray for the strength to love as Christ loved us and ask God to fill us with His love so that we can love others in the same way.
Prayer:
Dear God, thank you for your love for us. Help us to love others as you have loved us. Give us the strength and courage to love those who are difficult to love and to show kindness and compassion to those in need. Fill us with your love so that we may overflow with love for others. Amen.
