It can be hard to not judge someone and to think of them in a nice way as they are raving lunatics but they are the people we need to show a little more kindness and understanding to usually easier said then done.
In such a situation a friend of mine once prayed, "Well, Jesus, you better show me what you love about him because I'm sure not seeing it." Not a bad prayer, it seems to me.
Thank you, Jake, for another excellent reminder! Jesus once said, “what good does it do to love only those who already love you?” (paraphrased). This statement has helped me so much because it’s the people who are HARD to love who have taught me the most about love! It’s loving when we find it hard to do that changes us, too. ♥️

That's a very apt reference, Korie! It also seems to me that our most powerful offering to the world is to love those who are hard to love.
Amazing post. I struggle some with this too, but I guess we all do?
I think we're in a big club.
