Loving the Unlovable

Loving the unlovable is one challenge for Christians to abide by the Word of God. This what makes Christians different from the natural man. Loving the person who treat us well and who returns the love is an easy task but what if the person has been unkind to us, who tramples our dignity, abuse us, gives us problem and causes us many heartaches and pains. The usual reaction is to treat him the way he treats you, expel him from your midst or pretend that you never knew him or he never existed Yes, there are so many ways to get even. Just how other people regard it, “give him his worth” Does this make sense? This is the law of man before Jesus Christ time;

Matthew 5:43-48

43“You have heard that it was said, “Love your neighbor” and hate your enemy.

44 But I tell you : Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.

45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that

47 And if you give only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?

48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly father is perfect.

Though perfectly sounded, it seems too hard to implement, that is if you are still at lost with the world. For everything in this world are pride and selfishness. Oftentimes we keep grudges; we plant hatred and collect bad memories. Would you think it’s time for us to extinguish those rubbish that long embedded in our hearts?. Of course, we can’t learn to love those people whom we have hated for so long. But if we continue keeping those rubbish how can we love God more? God is love, if you lack the love in your heart or nothing at all remember the sacrifices that Christ had done, the pains and wounds he bore and the blood that He shed because he love us and because of His love for us we can learn to love even the most unlovable person on earth.
