Love your way back into a restored relationship!

Who are you going to love today...no matter what? Think of your worst day...when you had a really bad attitude, said something extremely hurtful, or did that thing that you wish so badly you could take back...even if God is the only one who saw you do it. Now, think about this....God loved you just as much that day as He did the day you were at your absolute best. Kind of hard to wrap our minds around that sometimes, but that is God and that is the example Christ led us by. So now think of someone who is hard for you to love right now. Maybe it is because of some pain they have caused, or some way they have disappointed you or some rejection you have felt by them. No matter what it is, you can probably think of a day you let God down just as bad. But His unending, unfailing, unconditional love for you did not stop. I challenge you today to love that person in your life that is so hard to love...and then don't stop today. Love your way through the storm you are in. Love your way through a damaged relationship. Love your way into prayer for someone. If you LET your heart feel love for that person the way God feels love for you, you will see why He can forgive us the way He does. I think Jesus spoke so much about loving one another because He knew that if you can really love someone, even when your disappointed in them or their choices, it makes praying for them, forgiving them, fixing things with them so much easier. And when you really love someone, all you really want is to restore the relationship, not dwell on the problems. Thank you God that You don't dwell on our problems, but love us back into a restored relationship with you instead!
