It’s easiest to love people who are like you? Those who have similar beliefs, standards, interests and talents. There’s nothing wrong with loving your friends. But that’s the easy love.
How do you relate to those who are different from you? It is hard to love people who are really different from you. In fact, it may be nearly impossible without God loving through you. He is willing to do that because He commands you to love others …especially those who are different.
“This is My command: Love each other.” John 15:17
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Romans 12: 9- 10
