I've found that there have been many instances where I have found it really hard to like, let alone love people who I don't quite understand.
You don't quite get where they're coming from, and struggle to come up with a motive that would explain why they did what they did... whether what they said was meant for malice, or if it's just their normal language- how they speak everyday.
But I can unashamedly admit that I think the world would be an immensely boring place if everyone turned out like me, thought like me, or acted like me.
I guess it's the process of actually getting to know the person that's important. Anyone can love somebody who is lovable. We are also here for the down and out, the lonely, the widows, the orphans. The ones who might be difficult to deal with. The people who seem unlovable.
And I think that that is what I have to constantly remind myself. God came for all. The church is for all. Therefore I must not be selective in who I like, and essentially- who I love as well.
