Topic : Agape Love! Loving The Unloved! Loving Those Who Hate And Despise Us. ๐
Matthew 5:46 - For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans do the same?
There are some people whom it is very easy to love. Is it not? They are congenial to our tastes. They have amiable qualities or charming manners, or they have befriended us or they are our social companions.
But they are others, good enough, yet not congenial, not amiable, not to our taste. Because they have unlovely and disagreeable traits of Christ and complete agreeable traits of the world. Faults completely mar the beauty of their character.
Yet, if we are called to be Christians, if we are called to bear the name of Christ, if we are called to bear and carry the cross daily, we should not or rather we must not fail to the brotherly love toward such people. We must seek that charity, that hides the multitude of their sins and faults against you. My question is : Do you and I do that?
To be truly honest it's the most challenging and difficult thing to do, but not impossible. It's no doubt a daunting task, as it tests our humility to the core. And our enemy - "SELF, " And exposes the true personality of the person.
By God's grace, I passed this test, not earlier but certainly in the recent times. It's most challenging for anyone but we need to strive to love the unlovely.
If we see the lives of Joseph, Daniel and Stephen, they passed these tests completely. They loved those who hated them, they prayed for those who not only persecuted them but killed them. That's the reason they were most blessed and successful in their missions.
