Love the Unloveable

I would like to share this comment by Adina on the ‘Turned the Whole Situation Around’ post. There are also other comments made on this post that is very interesting and insightful regarding this topic 🙏

“Thank you, Atarah, for sharing. Although I do not have family members that I do not get along with, there are people that enter your live for a season, maybe a work colleague or just somebody else you do not get along with.

Previously I would also just avoid these people with the attitude that if they don’t like me that is their problem and we can just stay out of each other’s way, but that is not always possible, especially if you have to work with them and I used to be not nice to them with a real bad attitude, making it worse. I know now that is not the correct way and you must treat them with love, humility and a gentle and quiet spirit regardless, because that is HIS way.

Sometimes there are people you do get along with but they have a wordly attitude and don’t believe the same as you. But I’ve also learned not to preach to them or argue about what they believe, but to show His love through your actions and the joy you have in your life. To be a epistle. To remain humble and not judge them for what they believe, but to let His light, love and joy shine through you so they will want what you have, and when they ask, you can tell them WHO’s love is in you.”
