Love One Another

Dear friends, since God so loved us,

 we also ought to love one another. 

No one has ever seen God; 

but if we love one another, 

God lives in us 

and his love is 

made complete in us. 

1 John 2:11-12

"Love one another."  Now, why is that so difficult?  

Because:

He doesn't look like me.  They don't speak my language.  He doesn't smell good.  She wreaks of perfume.  She wears too much jewelry.  He has pimples.  She smiles too much.  They don't go to church.  He's too fat.  She's too skinny.  He's too tall.  She's too short.  They eat with their mouths open.  He snores.  She has a lisp. They live in (you name the place.)  Their house is ugly, too small, too large, on the "wrong" side of town.  They don't have a job.  They have a corporate job.  They have no style.  They're too stylish.  He wears a beard.  They have too many children.  They don't have children.  They don't like dogs.  She doesn't know how to play the piano.  He plays the piano but doesn't know how to sight read.....shall I go on?

I think we need to check our Love Status.
