Loving like God loves

Its funny that as sinful creatures we tend to love others conditionally. We love based on the things they say or do, when then show love to us first, or if they are pleasing us, we love them with conditions. If they are meeting our expectations. We love them when we are "feeling" good about them or when they have done something for us. Godly love is unconditional. Its a love that only God truly gives to us. As fallen creatures we tend to fall towards conditional love, we even withhold our love when others fail us. Gods loves us all the time, in our weakness, and our trials, in our ugliness of sin, and our triumphs. He loved us so much that he was willing to give up his own son to die on the cross for our sins. I can't say that I am willing to give up that much to show love to someone. Especially someone who is unlovable. 1John 4:11 says. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. Its also says: 1John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. We are commanded to love one another. I find it difficult to love those who are hard to love. They are angry, unlovable people. Those are the type of people that we are to love even more, and yet it is so hard to love them. We consider them our enemies, those who continually hurt us, or make our lives miserable. Luke 6:27 "But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you. We are to do good to those who are like our enemies and to show love to them. Luke 6:35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. I need to learn to love like God loves. Lord Please forgive me for my conditional love towards those whom I find difficulty in showing love. Help me to learn to love the way your word tells us too. Help me to show love to my "enemies" and forgive them like you have forgiven me. AMEN!!!!
