One of the hardest things we will ever have to do is love. True love is who and what God is and when we love others, we have to love them "in spite of". Are you loving others in-spite of what they have done or even may be doing to you or against you? In spite of means regardless of or even though. The best example of loving in spite of is how God loves us. He loves us even though we sinned and took the life that He sacrificed His Son for and used it to glorify the devil instead of glorifying Him even though we knew that He is God alone and He is the very air that we breathe. God still loves of in spite of the wrong that we have done towards Him.
Today do your best to forgive and to love as you have been forgiven and loved. If you are finding it hard to do either or both, ask God to help you. Ask Him to heal your heart and ask Him to help you to be more like Him. Forgive as He forgives and do your best to love like Him.
SCRIPTURE MEDITATION
1 John 4:7-8
King James Version
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
