Love Those That Are The Hardest To Love

"Those who are hardest to love, need it the most." Socrates

 Maybe today in your life, you are dealing with difficult people. People that you are having relationship struggles with, or those types of people that are just overall hard to love. But let me tell you, that even though these people may be hard to love, that is when they are needing it the most.
 So, I would imagine that you are probably thinking about how much of a difficult and insurmountable task this is. We are supposed to love someone that we aren't really getting along with? We are supposed to love someone that just seems to difficult to love that it is aggravating? Well yes, and do you know why? It is because that is exactly what Jesus did for you and me. We didn't deserve it, and you could even say that we were in relational conflict with God, but He loved us anyway, and that was exactly what we needed.
 So you see, this is what we need to show others. We need to let God's unconditional love pour out from us onto others, even when it seems that they are hard to love, because you see, that s when they are needing it. That is when they are needing to be shown a kind heart, that is when, even though they may not even know within themselves, they are searching for that unconditional love that we have through God. That love that forgets all they have done, the kind of love that forgives, and the kind of love that loves them anyway. That, my friend, is what we need to be showing others. We need to, rather than sharing a hateful word at this person, share love, and share God's love!
 Now, I know that this may be difficult, but today I want you to get in the mindset of showing others the unconditional love that God once gave and continues to give us. For these people who seem to be the hardest to love are truly the ones that are needing it the most.
