Last Sunday Alex Wu continued the Soul Talk series and addressed the question: “How do I love someone who is hard to love?”
To really understand the question, Alex asked the following:
1. Who does the hard to love refer to? It can be someone you don’t like, as well as someone you are simply indifferent to.
2. What makes loving these people hard? Because we view love on a scale of transactions. When we love someone we expect to be loved back.
3. Why should we love them? Because Jesus says to love God, and to love your neighbor as yourself.
4. How do we do it? Following I Corinthians 13:4 - “Love is patient, love is kind.”
- We should pray a prayer that taps into the power of God, who can love in a way we cannot.
- We need to make the choice to be kind to those who are unkind to us. - We do it because we want to please God by reflecting His heart.
