Ch. 566 - Tough to Love? So What?

' "But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. ... If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?" '
[Matthew 5:44, 46-47]

This is actually a concept I have been thinking about a lot lately. Mostly about my O Chem lab partners. I don't want to be rude, but they are lazy, just copy off of me, don't know what they are doing, and one hates to shower or wash his clothes or something. I get so frustrated, so disgusted, it is hard to think loving things about them. But I know that Jesus loved this kinds of people purposefully and intentionally, and that he actually loves and knows my lab partners and why they are the way they are.

It's so tough to love them. But I know I must.
