impossible?

uranium to Turkey in nuclear deal
 
today it was ruff...maybe this is why
some people cuss or smoke or do dope...
 
Maybe you R....
easy to love...
but what about
those who are hard to love?
 
"owe no man anything but  to love" -
says St.Paul <- CLICK IT
 
some people are easy to love,
others its hard!
 
it is difficult for me to get
this into my thick skull.
 
to love my enemies - hard / impossible
to love my neighbor - sometimes easier
to love myself, always a challenge
 
to love the lovely and the loving is easy.
it is the loveless, unloving the lonely people..
they are hard to love.
 
so I find myself unable and sometimes unwilling to love.
I have no choice however, I am commanded to love.
I cannot, so I pray, I depend on God to help me.
...and He does.

One of the great strengths of the United States is... we have a very large Christian population - we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values.

The scripture is quite clear about our relationship with others, but oh how we have to depend on the Holy Spirit to help us to love without any hypocrisy..
