How to Love the Unlovable

During a Bible study, a wise woman revealed a transformative truth about her difficult family relationships: “I have chosen to love.” This declaration guides us in loving those who are hard to embrace.

Rethinking Love: It’s Not Just a Feeling

True love is more than an emotion; it’s an action-oriented commitment. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 describes love through a series of actions and choices, emphasizing its steadfast nature.

The Source of Our Love

Human love is finite, but by anchoring our love in Jesus, we draw from a limitless source. 1 John 4:16 teaches that living in God’s love enables us to love endlessly.

Understanding Others: The Key to Compassion

Difficult behaviors often stem from pain and brokenness. By looking beyond the surface, as 1 Samuel 16:7 suggests, we replace judgment with empathy.

Reflecting on Our Own Difficulties

Recognizing our own need for grace humbles us and helps us extend forgiveness and love to others.

Conclusion: Choosing to Love

Choosing to love difficult people reflects the profound love Christ has for us. It transforms us into vessels of God’s unconditional love, enriching our lives and bringing light to others.
