“You love because that’s who you are”
Originally published in The Christian Science Monitor’s Christian Science Perspective column November 18, 2024.
It can be tough to love someone whose views or beliefs oppose your own. It’s tough to love someone you feel has hurt or victimized you. It’s tough to love if someone is not helping you the way you feel they should.
But is there a way to learn to love consistently, in spite of others’ failings? Yes!
One time a friend came to me because she was having a hard time getting along with a relative. While she recited the reasons she couldn’t love him, I was silently praying to know how to help her. I found myself saying, “You don’t love him because of who he is. You love because that’s who you are.”
