Love Isn’t Easy
Love your enemies. Pray for those who hurt you. Matthew 5:44
Love isn’t easy. Not for you. Not for me. Not even for Jesus. Want proof? Listen to His frustrration: “You people have no faith. How long must I stay with you? How long must I put up with you? ” (Mark 9:19)
How long must I put up with you?
“Long enough to be called crazy by My brothers and a liar by My neighbors. Long enough to be run out of town and My Temple…..”
How long? “Until the rooster sings and the sweat stings and the mallet rings and a hillside of demons smirk at a dying God.”
How long? “Long enough for every sin to so soak My sinless soul that heaven will turn in horror until My swollen lips pronounce the final transaction: “It is finished.”
How long? “Until it kills Me.”
“A Love Worth Giving” by Max Lucado
