Today I'm sharing at Coffee for the Soul about loving your enemies...and the rude cashier at Walmart.
I'm not exactly the type of person make enemies. I'd much rather just get along with everyone.
But let's face it. Some people are just hard to love. Even Jesus admits it in Matthew 5! When he says to love your enemies, he is assuming there will be people in your life that don't like you...and maybe a few people you don't like.
But just because someone gets under your skin and annoys you or makes your life more complicated, doesn't mean we have an excuse to gripe, or complain, or to show unkindness towards them. We should apply the same standard of love to all people.
Bah! But if I keep writing you won't have any reason to read my post. Head on over to Coffee for the Soul, and as always please share with your friends!
