Loving even the most difficult

In the Bible Jesus gave us two commandments to ensure we never broke the first ten. If we love God with all of our heart, strength and mind we want to please Him more than ourselves. If we love our neighbors as we love ourselves we will never hurt them. When we have the inability to forgive lingering in our hearts we are not walking in love. Walking in love is the only way to walk in the supernatural with the Lord and manifest things into our natural. Is this the hardest thing that God could have ever told us we have to do? I would say absolutely because it is HARD to love the difficult folks. They do not care if you love them but they want to knock you down when you have finally gotten up from your last fall. They are obstacles blocking your next blessing.. until you learn to really love them and forgive them.

Loving someone does not mean that they can treat you badly and that you have to surround yourself with them. Toxic is toxic no matter who they are. If their words are always condemning they are not walking with Christ. They are not following the way God told us to be and are not good for any of us but we must learn to forgive, forget, and see them as Christ does. Many times after we think evil it will come out of our mouths, more often than not to be honest. If I am annoyed I will not even go around the person that made me that way or talk to them. I purposely distance myself until I figure out what they did to make me so mad. Why what they said or did bothered me so badly. Did they bust my trust? Lie? Blame me for something I did not do? Did I think they were being unfair? Once I figured this out I could move past whatever it was that made me mad. I am a pretty unconventional person but I can analyze myself better than anyone else can. No matter what I felt I had to remember I am not perfect, either. Even though I may not have committed their sin or evil towards another I am no better. I am still a sinner. This was not an easy lesson and it still isn’t, if I am being 100% honest. Loving those that purposely hurt us or those we love is something God has put me around to teach me not to be a Saul. There are times God will put us around a Saul in order to prepare us for the good and the Davids on their way. We cannot appreciation all of the good until we have experienced the bad. We cannot see what God has for us if we never walk in the valley.

God is showing people exactly what is in other people’s heart and it is important we pay attention. We need to know how people really feel and pray for them. Does this sound crazy? YES!! The last thing I usually want to do is pray for people that hurt me or make me mad but I have found that this is the only way I can keep my pure heart for God. I cannot let all of these little foxes spoil the vine. When love is the cure for every illness and we come to terms with that it becomes a little easier to love those we would rather pluck the eyeballs right out of. (Smile) all of this is doable because I do it. There is a man in my life that I used to be in love with but he has said and done so many things he took that love away all on his own. When I realized I was not in love with him because of his true personality and the evil in his heart I did not want to even look at him much less love him. God has really been dealing with me about this- BIG time!! Today my reading was in Luke 6&7, and I was taken to the Passion translation. When God has something He wants you to see if you pay attention and be obedient He will show you. There are times God does not have to say a word… He just proves His point. Today I got that point. The Bible says that when we are mistreated or harmed by someone that is our opportunity it pray for them. We must accept that mission and pray for that difficult person we do not want to love. It is impossible to hate someone you are asking God to bless AND we dump hot heated coals on the heads of our enemies when we pray for them. What better revenge than to let God take care of it? I used to not be this way and would allow people to feel the wrath of Ann, my alter ego. She is so mean that I have had to completely get rid of her. She was the boldness in me that would take revenge and get even with anyone that crossed me. She had to die. It was like having another personality inside me, and I believe there was really a spirit not of God that was plaguing me. The Bible says that evil can inhabit people without us even knowing so I had to push that out. Since God is a spirit and we have a spirit inside of us, if it isn’t His spirit then it is one of satan’s and it is up to us to discern this matter and take care of it. The Holy Spirit really lives in those that love! Those that truly love Him AND obey His commands live as one with God. God is in them and they are in God (John 14) I know this is a lot to take in but stay with me. Whoever passionately loves Jesus will be loved by the Father and He will love us in return AND manifest Himself in us. The only way to truly walk with God is to love. Love really is the greatest gift. If we have an obedience problem we have a love problem! The Bible says that loving Him empowers us to obey His Word, and this includes loving those difficult folks! The Holy Spirit that lives in me is God!! I have God living in me, do you? Some folks claim to be saved and think they are going to heaven but they hate.. hate is not of God!! Better clean up your heart and not just to walk in the supernatural but so you do not go to hell. WOW! That is powerful and I am so impressed by our God. I have not felt as close to God as I normally do because sin separates us. I knew this was a love problem but I didn’t know it was this bad. People think that I write these to teach and I love to teach the Word of God but I could never come up with something this good. God cracks me up and is using this blog to teach us all! I love y’all so much! Have a fabulously blessed day! Do not forget God does not want you to be treated badly you are His child so do not go back to toxic because you are lonely!!

Father God, thank You for the spirit of wisdom whom I call my sister. Thank You for Your love. Your forgiveness and thank You for teaching me to forgive myself and others that may never seek mine or Your forgiveness. Thank You! Thank You for revelation of Your Word. We are so excited to do life with You and to manifest You to the masses. Thank You!! Thank You for all of Your provision. Thank You for Your spirit that lives in me. Thank You for being one with me, I could have never done this alone. I am truly not this smart. Thank You! Father, help me forgive where I haven’t. Show us where our hearts need to be healed and keep us pure. We want beauty for our ashes, Lord. Help us to always seek You above all and to never have an idol. Show us where we are wrong and forgive us of our sins, dear Lord. Forgive me and teach me how to completely forgive myself. I declare that the Holy Spirit is living in me. And I praise You because I am so not worthy. Bless those that have harmed us Father. Teach them Your Word and help them to be better people. Allow us to love even the most difficult people as You have loved us when we were the most difficult children You had. Teach us to always walk in love so we are never separated from You that lives in us! Thank You Lord! Thank You!! In Jesus name I seal this prayer. Amen
