Love/Hate

DAY 13 OF 15

All of us have people in our lives we struggle to get along with. And whoever that person is for you, when it comes to showing love to others, they fall extremely low on our priority list. After all, why would we make the effort to show love to someone who wrongs us or annoys us over and over and over again? 

In this letter to the Roman church, Paul tells us that love does no wrong to anybody. Even the most difficult people in our lives. Sometimes love for the people it’s hard to love isn’t big and dramatic. Sometimes it’s as simple as making the decision to do no wrong to them in return. To choose peace, and honor, and respect over hate. It won’t always be easy, but with God, it certainly is possible. This week, ask a trusted mentor or Small Group Leader how you can work to choose love with the difficult people in your life.

About this Plan

Love/Hate

We all have a tendency to hate on others. We can be pretty quick to judge. The problem? We were made for a different kind of world—a world designed for love, not hate. In this 15-day devotional, we’ll explore what it looks like to lead with love rather than judgement and make a move toward landing on the right side of the line.
