To Love the Loveless





LOVE
synonyms:
devoted, tender concern,
kindness, care for, respectful
thoughtful, loyal, earnest
generous

We are called to LOVE the LOVELESS.
Be KIND to the UNKIND,
TENDER to the HARSH,
SELFLESS to the SELFISH,
CARE for the UNCARING,
LOYAL when BETRAYED,
DEVOTED in ADVERSITY,
LIGHT to the DARK,
SALT of the EARTH.

WHY?

Because we too, were once a loveless people,
yet, perfectly loved.

Showering us with mercy, He stayed patiently devoted to the cross,
willing that no one should be lost.

So,
Because He is merciful, we show mercy.
Because He is gracious, we show grace.
Because He is love, we love.

  3. My husband often preaches about teaching and loving the "loveless" Those we might be uncomfortable to to think that they would never accept the gospel. So keep preaching and loving. Even those the world may say is unloveable. God bless you Kaylene.
