Love/HateMuestra

When was the last time you hated on someone? Maybe you made fun of their outdated outfit or busted looking shoes? Or maybe you judged them based on the car they drove or the neighborhood they lived in? We’ve all done it before, haven’t we? 

But when we think about this tendency to hate on people in light of the call of this verse—to love one another as God loves us—there’s a tension. Because God loves each of us unconditionally. He doesn’t care where we come from, what clothes we wear or how nice our cars are. He simply loves us for who we are. And He calls us to extend that same love to others. To drop the hate and instead, choose love. So, who in your life are you struggling to stop hating on right now? Ask God to help you see that person with His unconditional love this week.
