Is It Possible to Love Someone, But Not Like Them?

Thank God, the answer is yes, it is possible The Bible tells us we are to love even our enemies.

What I used to do is sit around and try to drum up a feeling of love for someone I didn’t’ even like. It was impossible.

I felt guilty for not feeling good about someone, because I didn’t feel like I was loving them because I didn’t like them or didn’t like what they were doing. We need to sit on the jury on our own life.

We can’t just not like people because they don’t like what they do.

We must look at both perspectives: what is right, what is true and what is fair.

But we can love people we don’t like because love is a choice to do what is best for others without regard for ourselves. And we should want what is best for them. What is truly best for them is best for us and everyone else anyway.

Think about it. Trust God’s Word no matter what, because His Word is truth.

 Keep your eyes on the horizon.
