“You have heard that it was said, Love your neighbor, and hate your enemy. But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” Matthew 5:43-44
We find people who are different than us to be difficult and when we find them to be difficult, it is easy to be bitter or angry or label them as bad. We ourselves are different than most and we don't want that same type of response to our uniqueness. When we see others as being "difficult" or "wrong", we must remove those labels and see them as "unique" and "different" and "special" and often times, we need to see them as "broken" or in need of God's love and grace ... just like we do.
Lord, we are all different ... yet we aren't so different ... in that we all need YOU!
