Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
Romans 12:9
We are called to love others as Christ loves us. Seems easier said than done, right? Some people are just really difficult to love. Maybe they’ve hurt you so many times in the past that loving them seems impossible. But Christ tells us that we are to love them. He loves them so we must love them.
A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
John 13:34
We are commanded to love others.
So if you are having trouble loving certain people (and I’m including myself in this) just turn to Jesus who can help you. The closer you grow and walk with Him, the more His love will shine through you towards others.
This is true 🙂 It’s important to know too, some people we can walk away from especially after giving it our all. Jesus told us not to have our pearls be trampled on by swine, (not calling people pigs, but you see what I mean.) We shake the dust off and walk forward.
I didn’t always know this. I kept giving and giving and I was weary because people just kept taking.

You’re right. At some point we just have to move on.

🙂 as you said, we can love that person, but we don’t have to stay and be taken advantage of.
