God wants us to love people in spite of what they do to us and that is REALLY hard... it is easy to say that you love someone yet never have anything to do with them... I can easily love people that way... from a distance... but when you are up on someone and they aren't treating you right... is it God's will to ignore them or shut them off?
my son has a baby mama that I have been refusing to deal with... she is disrespectful.. she is selfish... she is rude... she is manipulating.. and yesterday.. for no apparent reason... she cusses at me through text.. and I tell her that she WILL NOT cuss at me and treat me with disrespect... and that I did not lay down and have this baby and I will not deal with the way she wants to treat people... and she cusses again... and I block her number... so she cannot bother me again...
what would Jesus do?
do I really believe that Jesus would refuse to deal with this person... just refuse any contact whatsoever... (no matter how bad I want to do this...) or am I to show the love of God... even to someone disrespecting me and treating me badly for no reason...
I would suggest we all look at someone that we really just don't want to deal with... (they test our religion or our christianity... who we really are deep down inside...) and I suggest we show them love of God in spite of what they say or how they act... because this really is what Jesus would do...
this really is the love of God for you and me and for ALL His people... and we are to be the love of God for the world... we are His Body... we are His Heart...
