Love in the Bible is very important, the whole concept of God dieing for us is based firstly with love! It is very important, the first commandment is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, and secondly love thy neighbor like thyself. I myself find it very easy to love God knowing what he has done for me, and what he continuously is doing in my life and i am sure many will agree 100%. But one thing i struggle with is loving others as God would ought me too, another thing we all struggle with.
There is always going to be that one person you never want to be around or deal with. it seems like everything that person does irritates you, even their very breathing! Now some may not want to admit but i believe we all have that one person that gets on our last nerve. The easy thing is usally to avoid people that annoy you, but i realized that if you do that you will always have this problem unless you deal with it. This is not something we can do on our own, because our love is flawed, this is why we need Gods help to love those that use and abuse us. I believe this matter needed to be addressed as i myself realize it is a problem in my life and also others. How can we say we love God, but hate our fellow brother or sister or anyone in general. if we have any speck of hate in us we are none of Gods as 1 john 4:20 says.
Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.
When we come to the realization that we have an issue with someone, it needs to addressed, if you can go to that person then by all means speak to them about, but sometimes that will not work. The next best thing if not better thing to do is get on your knees and start praying to God about it. As we pray to God about said person God will do his part, and by the time you know it, you will actually be able to love the individual, and not feel a certain ways when you're in their presence. This process takes time, especially if they have hurt you in a certain way. But God will fix the problem. I pray this word will help us all to love one another a bit more, and love our enemys even more!
God Bless!
