We Still Love Difficult People

I was reminded this week that while we think of ourselves as so easy to get along with .........and very easy to talk to..... oh, and great communicators to boot. Other people in our lives sometimes think otherwise. And yet, we would not want someone to stop loving or caring for us just because they think we're difficult. In fact, the thought of losing the love of others is hurtful.

And so it goes that if we have people in our lives who are difficult to deal with, we can't withdraw our love from those difficult people. People may be tough to deal with, hard to reason with, just outright the type that drive us crazy.....and we still must love them. WHY???!!!! Because Christ loves us whether we are good or bad, happy or sad, thinking clearly or all mixed up.....Christ still loves us and is constantly trying to help and guide us if we will just allow him.

You know all about yourself......even the stuff you wouldn't tell anyone else. And yet, remember that God knows too. And He still loves you dearly.

Have you ever had an experience where you loved someone who was difficult?
